Hyperion RPC: Urspruch/Bronsart & Rheinberger/Scholz

[FBerwald]

I've heard the Scharwenka 4 by Vazsonyi. It's not bad, but he seem to struggle in places and lacks the fluidity of Hough. I've always wondered if Seta Tanyel had recorded this, how it might have turned out. I believe it's the only one of Scharwenka's concertos that she didn't commit to CD.

And here's a teaser from Simon Callahan of the Scholz PC:

Ahh, how lovely. It may sound like Schumann, but it really is balm to the soul. I'm really looking forward to the whole piece...

Well, it's been two decades since she recorded the other three for Collins Classics, though has she gone on record that she won't record the fourth? (Assuming her career is still active, that is.)

Eric - thanks for drawing my attention to Seta Tanyel. This artist completely passed me by, and yet her Hyperion webpage testifies to an exceptional pianist with a great recording career., especially in the UC region. I hope she is still performing, but I couldn't find any evidence to that effect. 

[FBerwald]

Seta Tanyel is one amazing pianist. Try her Scharwenka No. 1 from Collins.

[semloh]

I never realised that I actually have the Scharwenka piano music set, played by Seta Tanyel, and the concertos 2 & 3. I must have assumed the latter featured Hamelin or Hough, as on the other Hyperion Scharwenka CDs.
I really must pay more attention to performers! 

[eschiss1]

Well, they're not Hyperion originals but Collins Classics CDs reissued by Hyperion, may help explain...

[eschiss1]

Looking forward to it too!

(Does anyone know if Hyperion or Dutton's had a look over way of V. Duvernoy's fantasia, maybe with Gedalge's concerto, for commercial recording purposes?)

Apparently another volume of Romantic Piano Concertos will be issued in November 2017 :

http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/ym.asp?ym=2017_11

"In contrast to RVW, the name Roger Sacheverell Coke will be new to many. His richly melodic music has long enjoyed the persuasive advocacy of pianist Simon Callaghan, who now makes his Hyperion debut with Coke Piano Concertos Nos 3, 4 & 5, volume 73 of our Romantic Piano Concerto series. Martyn Brabbins again conducts, this time the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra."

Please post further about the Coke release on this existing thread;

Sorry, I had missed that thread...

[Alan Howe]

No problem at all.

So the CD should be out this year - as should the Urspruch/Bronsart CD:
