Hyperion's new Classical Piano Concerto series focuses on the lesser-known concertos from the dawn of the genre. This series aims to be the first in-depth recorded survey of this forgotten repertoire. This first volume features three of Bohemian virtuoso Jan Ladislav Dussek's eighteen piano concertos, taken from different points in his career. As a group, these pieces are a fascinating study, with most of the earlier works largely reflecting the Mozartean model, and the later ones revealing stylistic traits that anticipate future developments in the genre. There could be no finer guide to these concertos than Howard Shelley, whose recordings of Clementi keyboard works and Mozart and Hummel piano concertos have received such acclaim.
