The commercial success of Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series,
here reaching its 77th volume, attests to the hunger of audiences for
new repertory, and for an understanding of the context in which the
great composers of the era worked. The two piano concertos here, by
German composers Hans Bronsart von Schellendorf and Anton Urspruch, are
all but unknown even to specialists. Yet both are enjoyable and cast
light on how the music of Brahms, the model for both works, was
received. Schellendorf was a student of Liszt but turned toward the
Brahmsian three-movement Classical concerto pattern. There are all kinds
of Brahms influences here; you can sample the second theme of the
second movement, Adagio ma non troppo (three-plus minutes in), for an
unusually well-executed iteration of the noble theme. But the footprint
of Schellendorf's teacher is also present in the degree to which the
music is pushed in the direction of virtuosity, with a corresponding
simplification of the motivic structure. The concerto by Urspruch, a not
uninteresting figure who may have been instrumental (?) in bringing
Gregorian chant to prominence, is a more heroic, Beethovenian mold,
although its lengthy finale lacks cohesiveness. Both works challenge the
pianist, and it's entirely likely that the confident performances by
Franco-British pianist Emmanuel Despax will not be the last ones. The
music was idiomatically recorded in the Glasgow City Halls. James Manheim
