  • Description

    A prolific composer, respected and influential in his lifetime. The Romantic Piano Concerto again turns up trumps with three concertos by Carl Reinecke.

    "Simon Callaghan certainly plays them with conviction, as does the St Gallen Symphony Orchestra under its chief conductor Modestas Pitrenas. […] This is a delightful disc and leaves me hoping that Hyperion will give us the Third Concerto (perhaps with the early Konzertstuck Op. 33) in due course." – International Piano

    "Here we have coruscating performances by Simon Callaghan and the Sinfonieorchester St Gallen on three of Reinecke's four piano concertos. […] We should now hear this live." – BBC Music Magazine (Performance 4 STARS; Recording 4 STARS)

    "Simon Callaghan is a compelling soloist, sensitively accompanied by the St Gallen Orchestra and Modestas Pitrenas." – BBC Radio 3, Record Review Previous recordings in the series have been critically acclaimed:

    Gablenz & Paderewski: Piano Concertos:
