‘Shelley’s nimble, elegant playing, while leading his excellent Tasmanian players, is a musical wonder’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘I defy anyone not to be captivated by this delightful, witty, rhythmically vital and spontaneously inventive work, especially when played as stylishly as here’ (International Record Review)

‘Highly recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Two concertos in richly-textured performances, full of decorative appeal and romantic melody’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘Very agreeable music of the Romantic era, well constructed and melodious. Highly recommended’ (International Record Review)

‘Pianist-conductor Howard Shelley … delivers very fine and sensitive performances on a Steinway piano. This recorded is a valuable addition for listeners interested in building their collection of nineteenth-century concertos or in tracing the history of the genre’ (Nineteenth-Century Music Review)

‘Directing the performances from the keyboard, Shelley takes every prestidigitational hurdle with immaculate precision and aristocratic aplomb. He displays an exemplary range of touch and fluidity, communicates an intense pleasure in the music and indeed seems to revel in its abundant charm. The recording is of the same excellent standard as previous releases in this series. Listeners who have already enjoyed the other Moscheles concertos will not hesitate; if you haven't, this is a good place to start’ (International Record Review)
