This entry in Howard Shelley's investigation of the 19th Century piano concerto is one of the highlights of the series. These works by Ferdinand Hiller provide absorbing listening. The first concerto is an early work, with lots of shimmering moments in the fluid piano part. The last movement is especially fetching. The 2nd and 3rd concertos are more intense creations, with a fully involved orchestral part matching the dramatic explorations of the soloist. The 3rd seems influenced by Schumann, especially the more ambiguous later works. This might seem unusual in a piece premiered in 1874, but Hiller was a musical conservative, and he certainly was true to his muse in this concerto. The performances are marvelous. Howard Shelley always plays with fluency, but also with passion when required. Just as sheer piano pyrotechnics, this is a superb album. The orchestra plays well, and how Shelley manages to keep them together with him despite all the difficult piano writing is a mystery to me. The sound engineering, by the former Chandos producer Ben Connellan, is excellent. If, like me, you are collecting Howard Shelley's discs on Hyperion, this will be an essential purchase.
