Johann Baptist Cramer: Klavierkonzerte Nr.2,7,8 auf CD

Rezensionen

…it would be hard to imagine a more colourful, sympathetic advocate than Howard Shelley. He despatches Cramers keyboard pyrotechnics with an ideal blend of elegance and devil-may-care brilliance… Performance ***** Sound ***** BBC Music Magazine

In all three works, Howard Shelleys pianism is alert and subtly lyrical, bringing out the many technical demands with fluency, clarity, and with an absorbing feeling for agogic accent. These are fully realised interpretations that deceptively suggest a lifetime of performance experience. Fanfare

'Howard Shelley plays with dazzling brilliance throughout'' The Guardian

'These amiable works cry out for the most scintillating pianism. Which is just what they get from Howard Shelley who throws off cascades of octaves and double thirds with glittering panache, and brings real vocal eloquence to the lyrical melodies.' The Telegraph

Rezensionen

G.​ Willmes in FonoForum 5/03: "Shelley überfrachtet nichts, animiert auch die London Mozart Players zu klang- schönem und beseeltem Spiel.​ So lohnt allein das unheim- lich entspannte wie entspannende Rondo des zweiten Konzertes - ein echter Ohrwurm - den Kauf dieser CD.​"
