Description
A fascinating new name bursts into our Romantic Piano series with the two concertos by Thomas Tellefsen, here coupled with an extended concert
piece by series stalwart Friedrich Kalkbrenner.
All three works here enjoy Howard Shelley's trademark dexterity and exuberant bravura technique.
"These concertos have been recorded before [...] but Howard Shelley's finesse and steadfast grace (in music that isn't always that graceful) coupled with Hyperion's superb engineering make this new version the clear front-runner." – Gramophone
"Shelley's playing is deft and delicate, with sparkly fingerwork and unerringly musical phrasing. The Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra accompanies him with what sounds like slender forces, warm and modest in the best sense." – BBC Music Magazine ****
"Shelley's versatility is necessary here, for the two works are entirely different in character. […] in these performances, they are worth any listener's time." – AllMusic
"For the finale Tellefsen heads to sunnier climes with an energetic tarantella and Shelley easily scores here […]. A fine addition to this series which definitely still has legs." – MusicWeb International
