September 2018 Releases

In Beethoven Moonlight Sonata & other piano music, Pavel Kolesnikov brilliantly juxtaposes one of the most popular works in the entire canon with a carefully chosen selection of contemporary shorter pieces. This wonderful pianist's recordings for Hyperion have won unstinting—and richly deserved—praise, and there will be no shortage of critical superlatives for this latest release; an essential Record of the Month for September. More fine pianism comes from Howard Shelley who, directing the Ulster Orchestra, presents a second volume of Dussek Piano Concertos: fans of The Classical Piano Concerto will need little prompting to acquire this latest addition to the series, the G minor being one of the early nineteenth century's hidden gems.
