Hyperion's series devoted to the Romantic piano concerto reached its
68th volume with this release in 2016, its 25th year. The series has
naturally been uneven, but many releases have achieved not only
critical, but even commercial success, testifying to how ready audiences
have been for a broadening of the repertory. This album, devoted to
piano concerto works by Moritz Moszkowski and Adolf Schulz-Evler, is one
of the more successful of the bunch. The Moszkowski concerto recorded
here is not the Piano Concerto No. 2 in E major, Op. 59, of 1897, which
has been recorded before, but a work of Moszkowski's youth, sometimes
known as the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B minor, Op. 3. Moszkowski disowned
the work in later years and even declined to send a copy to someone who
had inquired about it because, he said, he needed it to raise the
seating on his piano bench. Although Liszt liked the concerto, it
disappeared and was not rediscovered until 2008; this album marks its
recorded premiere. What Moszkowski disliked is easy to see: the finale
is too long, is blankly sectional, and is in general not of a piece with
the first three movements. Within those, however, is some marvelous
music, most of all in the "Adagio" slow movement, which in its
combination of harmonic sophistication (two adjacent sections juxtapose E
flat major and E major without stress) and bright French melody sounds
entirely unlike anything else that had been written. Moszkowski's piano
style was noted for grace and smoothness rather than for athleticism,
and the piano writing is a pleasure in both the Moszkowski concerto and
in the shorter Russian Rhapsody of Adolf Schulz-Evler, which treads some
of the some territory as the large (53-minute) Moszkowski work. The
performances by pianist Ludmil Angelov and the BBC Scottish Symphony
Orchestra under Vladimir Kiradjiev are fully competent, but many parts
of the Moszkowski concerto are strong enough to make you wish for a
pianist with star power, and for its addition to the regular performing
repertory. James Manheim
