Tuck/English Co/Bonynge - Carl Czerny: Piano Concerto in D minor

The Viennese�born Carl Czerny, student and confidant of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt, found fame in his native city by writing a series of fashionable pieces, among which numbered fantasies and potpourris as well as a series of important pedagogic studies. His large-scale pianistic works are of great interest and include the First Piano Concerto, in D minor, which expertly balances foreboding, pastoral richness and exuberant brio, a bravura Introduzione e Rondo Brillant and a vivacious salute to Weber�s Euryanthe. �Tuck is dazzlingly articulate and secure in the countless runs and fast passagework Czerny asks of her�, wrote MusicWeb International of 8.573417. This is a world-premiere recording.
