For this new recording Stephen travelled to Bergen\\u2014Grieg\\u2019s home town\\u2014to join forces with Andrew Litton and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in performances of Grieg and Liszt that are set to become landmark recordings of all three concertos.\\r\u003cbr\u003eGrieg\\u2019s A minor Piano Concerto, with its plethora of great tunes, is one of the most popular of all Romantic works, while Liszt\\u2019s two highly original concertos present unique challenges to both pianist and orchestra. These performances are exciting, magisterial and highly coloured, with breathtaking virtuosity harnessed to poetic refinement and finesse\\u2014hallmarks of Stephen\\u2019s playing that have already helped his concerto recordings to win two Gramophone \\u2018Record of the Year\\u2019 accolades.\\r\u003cbr\u003eStephen Hough and Andrew Litton continue the astonishing success of their collaboration in Rachmaninov\\u2019s concertos, Hyperion\\u2019s fastest-selling recording.
