Hans Gál - Piano Concerto in C major op. 57 will be broadcast on Thursday February 5th on Deutschlandradio Kultur in a concert beginning at 20:03 (CET).
Harmut Hudezeck, piano
Philharmonisches Orchester Altenburg-Gera
Laurent Wagner, conductor
Before and after the Gál are Haydn's Sinfonie No. 8 and Beethoven's Eroica.
Thanks very much for making the recording available, Colin.
Can you get the movement tempos?
Yes, many thanks
Jerry
I've tried to find the movement tempos, but failed. They weren't given in the broadcast and Boosey & Hawkes don't reveal them on their homepage.
I would love to see a score of this. Does anyone know who publishes it? Boosey only lists an early Concertino for piano and strings op.4
From the Hans Gal Society's web site; Allegro energico ma non troppo, Adagio, Allegretto vivace. Published by Breitkopf & Härtel 1948, first performed by the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra March 1949. Unfortunately they don't name the pianist or conductor.
Looked for further info at the B&H website, but their page is SNAFUd. A cache of one of the relevant pages does give the instrumentation as
Klav – 2(Picc).2.2.2. – 2.2.1.0. – Pk – Str
and the most recent performance that they know of, as of now, at January 14, 2015.
Am guessing Charles Groves was the conductor, from a contemporary publication that mentions, if I read correctly, that he premiered Gál's cello concerto a bit later with the same orchestra, I think.
Thank you matesic! You can edit them into the post, BerlinExpat.
