The composer Hiller was admired by Schumann, who described him as the exemplar of \\u2018how to combine orchestra and piano in brilliant fashion\\u2019. One of the most imposing musical personalities of the nineteenth century, close friends with the likes of Rossini, Liszt, Berlioz and particularly Mendelssohn, Hiller was nevertheless largely forgotten less than twenty years after his death as musical fashion changed. The Second Concerto is a genuine forgotten masterpiece, and Hyperion has been looking for the right opportunity to record it for many years. The First and Third concertos are both first recordings, and indeed the Third was never published. A combination of the appealing and the unknown makes this a classic RPC disc. Howard Shelley is a veteran of the Romantic Piano Concerto series. He conducts the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra here from the piano.\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 1 in A flat major, Op. 5: 1st movement, Allegro moderato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 1 in A flat major, Op. 5: 2nd movement, Adagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 1 in A flat major, Op. 5: 3rd movement, Allegro moderato e con grazia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano in F sharp minor, Op. 69: 1st movement, Moderato, ma con energia e con fuoco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano in F sharp minor, Op. 69: 2nd movement, Andante espressivo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano in F sharp minor, Op. 69: 3rd movement, Allegro con fuoco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 3 in A flat major, Op. 170: 1st movement, Allegro con anima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 3 in A flat major, Op. 170: 2nd movement, Andante quasi adagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Piano no 3 in A flat major, Op. 170: 3rd movement, Allegro con spirito\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55148283265409,"sku":"764595","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61pov9zb8rL._SL1500_8ca15b53-047a-4087-870d-a363330a1430.jpg?v=1767820553","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/764595-1","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
