About

This disc marks the first in a series dedicated to Julius Röntgen’s Piano Concertos. Röntgen’s second piano concerto is clearly obliged to German romanticism and combines the lighter form of a Mendelssohn Concerto with the somewhat weightier form akin to Schumann or Brahms. In contrast, reminiscences of Brahms or Beethoven are hardly heard at all in his fourth piano concerto. Both concertos appear here in their world première recordings.

CPO is proud to present the much sought-after and bravura German pianist Matthias Kirschnereit playing alongside the NDR Radiophilharmonie of Hannover under the Dutch conductor David Porcelijn.
