In this 72nd volume of his exhaustive exploration of the Romantic piano
concerto, pianist Howard Shelley and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra
have found works that are almost completely obscure -- all were pulled
out of archives and recorded here for the first time -- and well worth
revival. Cipriani Potter, charmingly nicknamed Chip, was an English
composer who traveled to Vienna to meet Beethoven. The master did not
take him on as a student, recommending someone else, but the encounter
left a strong impression. The Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor shares a
key with the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466, and in
many ways, notably the relationship of the solos to the tutti, it's
clearly derived from the earlier work. The biggest find here, however,
is the very attractive slow movement (sample track 2), which is in a
pastoral, quartal-flavored voice of Potter's own. The Piano Concerto No.
4 in E major is in a more Beethovenian vein; the nearly 15-minute
opening movement covers a lot of harmonic territory and takes unusual
routes to do so. The concluding Variazioni di bravura on a theme by
Rossini are more than a virtuoso showpiece; they are tightly
constructed. Shelley, conducting the Tasmanian Symphony himself, has by
now developed strong instincts for bringing out what's distinctive in
unknown music, and he does so here. Highly recommended for those
interested in the early Romantic scene. James Manheim
