«Romantic Piano Concerto Vol. 18» is the album by Marc-André Hamelin and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, released in 1998 by Hyperion, on CD.
The CD combines Korngold's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, Op. 17, written for Paul Wittgenstein, with Marx's Romantisches Klavierkonzert, in its first recording. Marx's work, from the 1930s, close to Richard Strauss, has generous melody and rich orchestration; Korngold's demands virtuoso piano and large orchestra.
Volume 18 of Hyperion's The Romantic Piano Concerto series, with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Osmo Vänskä. Catalogue number CDA66990, 64 minutes.
Will appeal to piano enthusiasts and those seeking first recordings of little-known Romantic concertos.
