Today, exploring
Jan Dussek's Piano Concertos in my collection - I have the 4 discs shown below, but not much more available on Amazon USA (Shelley's 2nd Hyperion recording was done in 2017 - nothing else is listed on their website) - there are 13 solo piano concertos w/ one duplication between Staier & Shelley, so half have not been recorded (now, I've not really checked well the ones on some of the other CDs listed on Amazon or elsewhere?) - see quoted list below from an earlier post. The 'Concerto for Two Pianos' w/ Lubimov is excellent but a mixture w/ chamber works. I decided to 'cull out' the Staier disc because the last piece is a talking/piano 'tribute' to Marie Antoinette - not my thing, I guess.
So, Brilliant has done a great job w/ Dussek's Sonatas on fortepiano - why not a similar series of the Piano Concertos on period instruments? Dave
ADDENDUM: I contacted Hyperion by email and received an immediate response about whether Howard Shelley will record the remainder of Dussek's Piano Concertos - NO plans in the near future - the ball is thrown in Brilliant's field, as mentioned in the sentence above?
