For those new to Mendelssohn's music, this might look like a recording of some major works of the composer; be aware that they're virtually unknown music of Mendelssohn's early teens, first published in complete form only in 1999. For those already a fan of Mendelssohn, however, they're very intriguing works that show the developing talents of the young composer in a different light than do the set of twelve-string symphonies that are his most frequently performed works of the period.

Stavenhagen was one of Liszt’s last pupils (1885–86) and gave the oration at Liszt’s funeral. From 1886 to 1900 he toured most European countries and America. He was court conductor at Weimar from 1895 to 1898 and at the Munich Opera from 1898 to 1907. From 1907 until his death he taught piano at the Geneva Conservatory and conducted the municipal orchestra of that city. He was known for his interpretation of the works of Frédéric Chopin, and his cadenzas for Ludwig van Beethoven’s second and third piano concertos are still played occasionally today.

Though the name "Schoenberg" makes some people cringe, the Schoenberg piano concerto is a wonderful and highly expressive work. Though composed in the 12-tone style, it contains the same degree of lyricism and rhythmic drive that other, non-12-tone pieces have. Ax gives this concerto what it deserves- a highly sensitive performance that shows the concerto is a true piece of music rather than the product of a mechanical compositional process.

The music of Grazyna Bacewicz (1909-1969) has been enjoying a revival during the past two decades. Bacewicz was an outstanding figure in 20th-century music, a major Polish composer and a versatile musician. This album by the award-winning pianist Peter Jablonski, pianist Elisabeth Brauß, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor Nicholas Collon includes some rarely recorded gems: the composer's Piano Concerto together with the late Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in it's first digital recording. Also included is the composer's homage to Bartók, Music for Strings, Trumpets and Percussion, as well as the composer's early exuberant Overture written during the German occupation of Poland.

Glenn Gould was this century's greatest Bach player, so these legendary recordings are self-recommending. While other fine pianists have made powerful statements in this music, no one sounds anything like Gould. His phenomenal clarity of articulation, digital control, and well, just plain interesting way with the music set him completely apart from the competition. With playing of this individuality and quality, it's pointless to engage in any debate with respect to the appropriateness of the piano versus the harpsichord. Scholars and pedants may continue to argue, but the fact is, it doesn't matter. Great musicianship always serves great music best.

François-Frédéric Guy, Philippe Jordan - Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 5 (2008)

Genre: Classical | Label: Naïve

French pianist François-Frédéric Guy certainly has the prerequisite technique to take on Beethoven's very difficult First Piano Concerto and his very, very difficult Fifth Piano Concerto. As this 2008 Naïve recording demonstrates, he can surmount both the racing scale and intricate filigree of the First Concerto's cadenzas and the rolling arpeggios and massive double trills in the Fifth Concerto's opening flourishes. Guy also has the strong but nuanced tone to balance power and sensitivity in the two concerto's central solo movements as well as the rhythmic vivacity to keep the music moving forward in the works' closing Rondos.

It is all-but forgotten that before the arrival of those composers whom we now think of as quintessentially American (from Ives onwards) there was thriving group composing in the USA who had studied in Europe and transferred its traditions to their homeland. It is to this school that Huss and Schelling belong.

This new recording of…the great D minor, K466, made last November with the LSO under Abbado, is immensely welcome. The old magic is still there: the ability to make every semiquaver in a run count: the way he can invest even quite 'innocent' music…with real meaning and character; the pathos and lyricism he brings to the slow movements; and the tension and drama he reveals in the outer movements of K466.

The two piano concertos of Dmitry Shostakovich may be treated as rare examples of light humor in Shostakovich's output, which requires connecting the mordant Concerto for piano, trumpet, and orchestra in C minor, Op. 35, to the more genuinely humorous Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major, Op. 102. Many performers, naturally enough, connect the two in some way, but Russian pianist Valentina Igoshina takes a different approach: she divorces the two concertos quite thoroughly. In the Concerto No. 1 she emphasizes the manic quality of the music.

These early recordings (1950-52) were made while Sviatoslav Richter was still playing this kind of virtuoso Russian music, an area he largely abandoned later in his life. If you enjoy the trivial Rimsky and Glazunov concertos, you'll get a real kick out of the colorful virtuosity of these performances, pretty well conveyed by the recordings although they don't really do justice to Richter's tone. But Richter did make another recording of the Prokofiev, with Karel Ancerl, which is currently available on Supraphon and has a much better orchestra. In either case, the pianist gives this insouciant music all the juice it needs.
