The first recording of Moritz Moszkowski's long-lost-and eagerly awaited-early Piano Concerto makes for a particularly important addition to the Romantic Piano Concerto series. The coupling is another rarity (and recorded premiere): the Russian Rhapsody by Adolf Schulz-Evler.
"Angelov is a splendid pianist who imparts exactly the right atmosphere to all the music on this disc and the recording is exemplary throughout. The orchestra and conductor are on top form. This is a superb disc of wonderful music which certainly deserves a place in the repertoire and to be a best-seller. Full marks to everyone." (MusicWeb July 2016)
"[the Moszkowski] is given an unstintingly engaged and engaging performance by pianist, conductor, and the BBC Scottish SO…Angelov's experience of Chopin serves him well, helping him make the most of writing that abounds in a sense of rhapsody and silvery filigree. Add to that an exuberant virtuosity and a penchant for spinning a good tune, and you have a worthwhile addition to the series" (Gramophone)
"Ludimol Angelov plays with enviable fluency and affection" (InternationalPiano)
