Carl Czerny

  • Romantic Piano Fantasies — entertaining if not elevating

    Jan 3rd, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Czerny, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Naxos, Pei-I wang and Samuel Gingher, Romantic period

    In the early 1800s, Sir Walter Scott was a wildly popular writer. As wildly popular as J.K. Rowling would be in the early 2000s. His “Waverly” series started a new genre, historical fiction. Scott would write between 30-48 novels set in historic Scotland, all best-sellers. Carl Czerny published a series of four piano duets inspired […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDoubleDigits Week 5

    Jan 30th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalDoubleDigits, #ClassicsaDay, Carl Czerny, Cécile Chaminade, Classical music, Dmitri Shostakovich, George Frideric Handel, Joachim Raff, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team noted that the new year is comprised of two twenties — double digits. So the theme for January 2020 is to post other examples of double digits found in classical music. Prolific composers are a good place to start. But I found a few surprises among composers with very small […]

  • Rosemary Tuck delivers grand performance of Czerny concerto

    Sep 17th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Czerny, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, English Chamber Orchestra, Naxos, Romantic period, Rosemary Tuck

    This is the second Czerny recording by Rosemary Tuck, Richard Bonynge, and the ESO. That release featured the Grand Concerto in A minor. This one has Czerny’s Second Grand Concerto, and it’s equally grand. Czerny studied with Beethoven and premiered two of his piano concertos as soloist. Czerny’s Second Grand Concerto was started weeks after […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSchool Week 2

    Sep 13th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalSchool, #ClassicsaDay, Carl Czerny, Classical music, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Johann Sebastian Bach, Maria Szymanowska, Twitter

    Traditionally, September is the back-to-school month. The Classics a Day team decided to mark the occasion. Classical School is the theme for September 2019. To participate, just post a piece of classical music that’s somehow related to education with the appropriate hashtags. What would count? Any classical work about school, or using themes from schools; […]

  • Carl Czerny Piano Trios Brilliantly Entertaining

    Aug 19th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Benjamin Hayek, Carl Czerny, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Naxos, Samuel Gingher, Sun-Young Shin

    Five piano trio receive their world recording premiers with this release. In a sense, it’s not that big a deal. Carl Czerny wrote over 1,000 works, over 800 of them published. There are still many, many Czerny works awaiting their first recording. The trios presented here are certainly worthy of attention. The 1830 Deux Trios […]

  • Pianist Jinghu Zhao Launches Carl Czerny Series

    Aug 1st, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Czerny, CD Review, Classical music, Classical piano, Jinghu Zhao, Romantic period, Toccata Classics

    Now, this is an ambitious recording project. Carl Czerny wrote over 1,000 works — a substantial portion for solo piano. If you still collect CDs, you might want to clear a shelf for this series. Volume one features five works, only one an entirely original Czerny composition. Variations, fantasies, and impromptus based on existing melodies […]

  • Carl Czerny Symphonies – Better Than Expected

    Mar 14th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carl Czerny, CD Review, Classical music, Grzegorz Nowak, Orchestral music, Romantic period, SWR Music, SWR Rundfunkochester Kaiserlautern

    Pianists the world over are familiar with Carl Czerny — or at least his keyboard exercises. But Czerny, a student of Beethoven, also composed many other types of works, including symphonies. Unlike Beethoven, though, Czerny could produce, and produce quickly. Pianist John Field wrote about Czerny’s system after visiting with him: A large cabinet served […]
