Free Music Review: concert promoters should show some interest in this appealing music.
Hit: 5 Stars
Some music from the past has been consigned to oblivion for very good reason but how these two charming and charismatic concertos have fallen into negelect is harder to explain.Certainly the technical demands of the Scharwenka seem extreme but the rhythmical energy and melodic beauty of the piece would seem to justify the labour.The barnstorming tarantella finale is every bit as scintillating (try 00:55) as the famous Littolf Scherzo but the entire concerto commands ones attention.More consistently satisfying than the Scharwenka's slightly better known 1st concerto.
Emil Sauer's concerto is lighter,slightly less original but equally enjoyable.The slow movement is particularly gorgeous,almost improvisatory in mood.This concerto along with the 2nd,3rd and 4th movements of the Scharwenka would make a delightful ballet.
Stephen Hough is the outstanding soloist,richly deserving all the accolades heaped upon him and the orchestral accompaniments are totally idiomatic.
Come on,all those concert promoters,competition organizers and choreographers:show some flair and imagination.Either of these pieces would make a change from the umpteenth outing of one of the warehorses.
