5.0 out of 5 stars The More the Merrier Feb 5 2004
By Avid Reader
Format:Audio CD
For a while, I thought I was the only one who was tired of the 182nd recording of Beethoven's Moonlight or the 500th version of Eine Kliene Nachhmusic or yet another CD of Schubert. These relatively unknown findings continue to delight and impress with their Romanticism, bravura and lushness.

Both Concertos should be included in the rather tired concert rounds that make up the bulk of the modern orchestral season. They are alive with passion and demand a great deal from the soloist. I loved the melodies and the recording was absolutely gorgeous. I am constantly on the outlook for quality, out of the main stream, Romantic works and they continue to keep popping up like daisies. Bring them on!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Flawless Recording Nov 11 2002
By D. A Wend
Format:Audio CD
This recording marks the first time the Scharwenka Fourth and Sauer First Piano concertos have been recorded. The works date from 1908 and 1900 respectfully and are virtuoso works that are brilliant and charming. Both concertos are cast in four movements and follow in the Lisztian tradition of romantic concertos. Schwarenka wanted to be remembered for this concerto so it is particularly fortunate that we have such an excellent recording.

Once heard, it seems impossible that this happened to two works that were once very popular. In fact, both composers, Xavier Scharwenka (1850-1924) and Emil von Sauer (1862-1942) were beloved and respected musicians in their time. This pair of concertos is brilliant and scintillating works. Stephan Hough plays them with a tone and phrasing that one reviewer described as "a model for singers as well as pianists." The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, under Lawrence Foster, perform as a full partner, and play the concertos with great affection.

This recording won not only the Gramophone Best Concerto award but was named Best Record of the Year. This is a must have disc for anyone interested in romantic piano concertos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful performances April 1 2004
By "soloart98"
Format:Audio CD
This is a wonderful recording, very pleasing, even with some very dramatic moments in the score. Every time I have this on, and someone is listening they remark how lovely it is-- especially Sauer's concerto, which I had never heard before until I happened to catch it on USC's classical station here in Los Angeles. I purchased it as soon as I could and I listen to it frequently and never tire of it.
