Digital Booklet

"Irresistibly cheerful, with enough in the way of invention and scintillating technical challenge to hold the attention throughout. And there can be no finer guide to this near-forgotten music than Howard Shelley who, yet again, sounds as if he’s been relishing these works for years. The LMP have clearly caught his infectious enthusiasm, too, and Hyperion’s sound is gloriously present and lifelike."
- Gramophone
Cramer’s piano concertos were written to showcase his formidable proficiency in the new pianistic techniques—and evolving piano technologies—of the day. Howard Shelley here revisits the composer, delivering persuasive accounts of three further concertos.
