The Viennese-born Carl Czerny, student and confidant of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt, found fame in his native city by writing a series of fashionable pieces, among which numbered fantasies and potpourris as well as a series of important pedagogic studies. His large-scale pianistic works are of great interest and include the First Piano Concerto, in D minor, which expertly balances foreboding, pastoral richness and exuberant brio, a bravura Introduzione e Rondo Brillant and a vivacious salute to Weber's Euryanthe.
"The recording of these works was perfect. Australian pianist Rosemary Tuck's gives an ideal performance that often bends to towards the classical rather than the romantic. That said, she handles the Weber and Chopin 'nods' with great skill and imagination. The English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge is always sympathetic." MusicWeb
"Czerny produced much more besides teaching aides, including several piano concerto, the first of which receives - incredibly - its premiere recording here. Australian pianist Rosemary Tuck demonstrates the beauty and delicacy of the filigree melodies in the first movement, and the cadenza, written by Tuck and Alan Jones, glints and glitters…There is thoughtful balance between soloist and ensemble."
