Product-Information:

Super-virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin plays two of the lushest products of late Romanticism. The Marx concerto, long awaited by pianophiles the world over, is a first recording. Written in the 1930s, it is perhaps closest in style to Richard Strauss with its gushing melodies and rich orchestration.

The Korngold left-hand

Concerto was written (like that of Ravel) for Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein who had lost his right arm during the First World War. It is Korngold at his most experimental and features a very large and colourful orchestra, and a particularly demanding (and awkward) piano part.

Rezensionen

»All the most wildly romantic concertos you can think of rolled into one huge pianistic feat« (Gramophone)

»One of the most memorable in Hyperion's much-valued Romantic Piano Concerto series« (The Scotsman)

»Exceptional pianism« (BBC Music Magazine)

»Heroic piano playing of monumental proportions« (In Tune, Japan / USA)

Reviews

A. Csampai in Scala Nr. 3/98: »Am meisten beeindruckt der völlig eigenständige, absolut originelle Klaviersatz Korngolds, der hier die Illusion von zweihändigem Klavierspiel grandios umsetzt.«
