Product Information
Pianist Herbert Schuch marks the 100th anniversary of Erwin Schulhoff’s Piano Concerto, which was composed in 1923 and has not yet attained the recognition it deserves. It’s a work that shows the influence of the jazz styles that had crossed the Atlantic and were then taking Europe by storm. Schuch pairs it here with Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto, and also includes Schulhoff’s cadenza for the opening movement of the Beethoven work. Discover a world of musical contrasts on this album on which the pianist is joined by the WDR Sinfonieorchester and conductor Tung-Chieh Chuang.
