Search - Cramer, Shelley, London Mozart Players :: Piano Concertos 2 7 & 8

Worth an occasional listen

"I couldn't give these concerti recordings higher than three stars. This music is well crafted and written,but the concertos #2 & #7 pretty much follow the form of the piano concerti of the era. #8 is more interesting.What makes this recording worth listening to is the excellent performances, and the fact that Beethoven held Cramer's piano playing in very high regard. These concertos do reflect a virtuoso technique, and that is also a reason why they deserve an occasional hearing."

Good performance - Interesting

"This is a find for classical lovers - I didn't even know about Cramer but really enjoy the writing style. The notes are accurate - Cramer is a very interesting stage between Mozart and Beethoven.
Performance by Shelly is very skillfully done. R Dallas,TX"
