Reinecke Piano Concertos: Callaghan/Hyperion

[Mark Thomas]

It can also be heard on YouTube here, for those like me who are curious but don't want to duplicate the full concertos in their collections.

[Alan Howe]

I don't care about this, to be honest. And I don't think this is a patch on the much better recorded cpo set anyway. But others may disagree...

[Mark Thomas]

I do agree and that's why I was happy to have the opportunity to hear the extra track on YouTube. Curiosity satisfied.

[Alan Howe]

Yes, it's good to hear this alternative ending. However, the problem remains with this new recording: the orchestra simply isn't good enough. So: I personally would stick with cpo for the Reinecke and Danacord for the Sauer.

[Mark Thomas]

That's exactly what I've done.
