The sheer volume of works by the Czech-Austrian composer Carl Czerny has
made appreciation difficult, and most pianists know him only through
his School of Velocity piano exercises, still in common use. Howard
Shelley here turns to Czerny in his magisterial series of Romantic piano
concertos, which reaches its 71st volume with this release. The
highlight is probably the Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 214 (sample the
first movement), where Shelley nails the brilliant passagework at the
top of the keyboard. This kind of thing is what kept pianists playing
Czerny throughout the first half of the 19th century, even as more
progressive composers came on the scene, and Shelley's performance is
entirely idiomatic. The expansive Piano Concerto in F major, Op. 28, was
designated in the 1830s as an arrangement of a guitar concerto by Mauro
Giuliani, a fact mentioned in Hyperion's online notes for the album,
but not in its printed booklet. It's not certain who the original author
was, but the unusually variegated first movement sounds more like
Giuliani than Czerny. There is a concluding Rondo brillant, Op. 233,
with an adagio introduction, that has a slam-bang finale that's pure
Czerny. Throughout these works (other than the Op. 28), there is a
tendency toward square phrase structures that make you long for some
kind of disruption, but Shelley makes you realize why Czerny was so
successful. Part of his success is due to his conducting the Tasmanian
Symphony Orchestra from the keyboard; the musicians hang together nicely
in some high-speed tempi. Recommended for those interested in the
Beethoven orbit and the period immediately after. James Manheim
