Dvořák & Schumann: Piano Concertos
Stephen Hough (piano), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Andris Nelsons (conductor)
CDA68099
Two more rich piano concertos from the unparalleled Stephen Hough and the CBSO (they’ve already won Gramophone’s Record of the Year award twice). The eminent Andris Nelsons conducts, making his Hyperion debut. Schumann and Dvořák each wrote just one piano concerto, the latter being performed here in its fearsomely challenging original version.
