Surprisingly, these are the first recordings of the concertos and are a much-awaited addition to the numerous world premiere recordings featured in Hyperion\\u2019s Romantic Piano Concerto series, now reaching its 55th volume and still unearthing little-known works to consistently dazzling effect.\\r\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the success of his renditions of the Draeseke and Jadassohn concertos, pianist Markus Becker makes a welcome return to the series. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the remarkable Thierry Fischer more than do justice to Widor\\u2019s imaginative orchestrations.\u003cp\u003ePiano Concerto No 1 in F minor Op 39\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantaisie in A flat major Op 62\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Concerto No 2 in C minor Op 77\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55145715990913,"sku":"761162","price":19.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51075JXrzrL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767820030","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/761162","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
