About
No fewer than four composers vie for attention in volume 78 of the Romantic Piano Concerto. There’s only one official piano concerto here, but it’s a remarkable work from a composer in her mid-teens.

Presto Recordings of the YearFinalist 2019
June 2019
[Schumann] Shelley and his well-drilled Tasmanians provide the best possible case, not least in the songlike Romanze, which contains a gorgeous passage for piano and solo cello. Shelley opens the polonaise finale in a blaze of light and the excitement of the movement’s closing bars almost transcends studio limitations. Everything is presented in splendid sound. Unhesitatingly recommended.
May 2019
Committed and compelling performance of all four works.
28th April 2019
What these four Romantic concertante works lack in consistency, they make up for with charm...Shelley’s performances dazzle.
Pianist Magazine June 2019
Splendid orchestral response and superb sound.
classicalsource.com April 2019
The simple melodies are elaborated in virtuosic style and all are presented with panache and entertains well.
