Hyperion's survey of the Romantic piano concerto charges on with this,
its 69th volume, devoted to a pair of Australian composers. Two of the
three works here are receiving their first recordings, which may tell
you that they fell out of the repertory quickly. The Piano Concerto in D
minor of George Frederick Boyle was apparently the first such work by
an Australian composer. It was written not in Oz, but America, where
Boyle went on to teach at several top conservatories and numbered Aaron
Copland and Samuel Barber among his students. Boyle studied with Busoni
in Germany, but little of that composer's style is audible in this
attractively textured, but conventional, three-movement concerto. More
interesting is the sonata-concerto pair by Alfred Hill (1869-1960); the
Piano Concerto in A major, of 1941, is a substantial reworking of the
Piano Sonata in A major from the 1910s (which is interesting in itself).
This work, too, is built on Romantic forms, but they're treated freely
enough to hold your attention. Sample the opening movement of either
work, where the slow introduction gives rise to the title "The Question"
(it actually seems to contain questions and answers). Neither one of
these works seems to be truly of the early 20th century, but the
performances by Piers Lane and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra under
Johannes Fritzsch are vivacious, and the album is both enjoyable and of
interest to those intrigued by the history of Australian music. James Manheim
