    Michal Bergson’s piano concerto receives its world recording premiere — thanks to a chance discovery. Polish composer and pianist Michal Bergson (1820-1898) spent most of his life abroad, retiring to England. The manuscript for this 1868 concerto was recently discovered in a London antiquarian bookstore. Little is known of the circumstances surrounding the composition, save […]

  • Raphael Wallfisch shows affinity for Weinberg Cello Concerto

All three composers were Jewish, and all were forced from their homes. But not every work on this album is a concerto (sort of). The outlier is Ernest Bloch, represented by […]

    Penderecki Piano Concerto Resurrection

    Jan 3rd, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Florian Uhlig, Hänssler Classic, Krysztof Penderecki, Lukasz Borowicz, Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra

    The events of 9/11 triggered the creation of many musical works. Some are only of passing interest, while others, such as Pendereicki’s piano concerto have taken on a life of their own. This new recording presents the revised version of this concerto. In 2007 Penderecki rewrote the final movement, and in the process made it […]
