Title: The Romantic Piano Concerto Vol. 68
Post by: UnsungMasterpieces on Friday 22 April 2016, 15:21
On July 1st, 2016, Hyperion will release the 68th volume of the Romantic Piano Concerto series.
It will feature the 'Piano Concerto in B minor, Op. 3' by Moritz Moszkowski (which lasts 54 minutes or so) and the 'Russian Rhapsody' by the Polish composer Adolf Schulz-Evler (1852-1905).

Now, Moszkowski will sound familiar on this forum, but this Schulz-Evler character is a very forgotten one.

Let's hope this album won't let us down!

This is about the Piano Concerto Op.3, not about Op.6.

In the thread above Martin Eastick wrote:
Quote... the autographed score actually states Op6 (this number was eventually assigned to his Fantasie-Impromptu for publication) - so perhaps an oversight on Moszkowski's part at the time. It would therefore be quite reasonable to fill the missing Op3 listing with this work!
And Mark Thomas subsequently wrote:
QuoteOn the question of Op.3 v Op.6, I was going by Bojan Assenov's magnificent biography and catalogue of Moszkowski: download it here. The section on Piano Concerto Op.3 begins on page 361.
And the publication by Symetrie assigns it the opus no. 3: https://symetrie.com/fr/titres/concerto-pour-piano (https://symetrie.com/fr/titres/concerto-pour-piano)

Ah, I see. Wasn't aware of that, perhaps I read over it.
Oh well, still looking forward to this one.
