Dussek: Piano Concertos Op. 1/3, 29 & 70 (Hyperion Classical Piano Concerto 1) - Howard Shelley, Uls

Following on from Hyperion’s popular Romantic Piano Concerto series, The Classical Piano Concerto focuses on the lesser-known concertos from the dawn of the genre. Between about 1770 and 1820—the period dominated by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven—musicians including Clementi, Cramer, Dussek, Steibelt, Woelfl and others made their names as composers and performers of piano concertos. This series aims to be the first in-depth recorded survey of this forgotten repertoire. This first volume features three of Bohemian virtuoso Jan Ladislav Dussek’s eighteen piano concertos.
