'Howard Shelley plays with dazzling brilliance throughout...'
The Guardian

'And it would be hard to imagine a more colourful, sympathetic advocate than Howard Shelley.'
- BBC Music Magazine

'Howard Shelley plays with dazzling brilliance throughout...'
- The Guardian

'These amiable works cry out for the most scintillating pianism. Which is just what they get from Howard Shelley who throws off cascades of octaves and double thirds with glittering panache, and brings real vocal eloquence to the lyrical melodies.'
- The Telegraph

Cramer was a virtuoso pianist and composer of German origin who lived mostly in London. A pupil of Clementi and friend of Beethoven, he is best known for his piano studies. He founded the publishing company J.B. Cramer & Co. which still exists today.

This is the only available recording of these works.

Howard Shelley has a large and acclaimed discography on Chandos and is acknowledged as a leading exponent of keyboard repertoire from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

'Howard Shelley brings to life all the charm and effervescent brio of this glittering music.'
