GEORG BENDA
Benda: Piano Concertos Howard Shelley (piano/conductor) / London Mozart Players [ Hyperion The Classical Piano Concerto Vol 8 / CD - released 1/Oct/2021 ] 'It's almost a commonplace to remark upon Shelley's unstinting advocacy of all‑but-forgotten and sometimes rather inconsequential music. That's to do Benda a disservice, however … where these works really score … is in the slow movements' Gramophone |

STEPHAN ELMAS
Elmas: Piano Concertos Howard Shelley (piano), Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra / Howard Shelley [ Hyperion Great Romantic Piano Concertos Vol 82 / CD - released 8/Jan/2021 ] If the warmly Romantic bloom on these concertos suggests the spirit of an earlier generation-both works date from the 1880s-the music of Stéphan Elmas retains its own distinctive voice, a voice heard to best advantage in Howard Shelley's persuasive... |

HINDEMITH
Ludus Tonalis / Suite '1922' John McCabe, piano [ Hyperion Helios / CD - released 1/Jan/2013 ] Ludus Tonalis is that great work of intellectual gymnastics which has been called a '20th-century composer's reappraisal of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier', but its twelve fugues and their interludes are notable equally for their emotion as for their... |
