About

Carl Czerny is remembered as a pupil and friend of Beethoven and the composer of numerous piano studies, but in his lifetime he was renowned for a prodigious output of brilliant concert works, most of which remain entirely unknown to present-day audiences and performers. Inspired by the most famous and attractive themes from Bel Canto operas which were hugely popular in their time and are still performed today, these sets of variations give full rein to the soloist and are a major contribution to the great pianist-composer tradition.

Reviews

“…Tuck and Bonynge clearly are enjoying themselves… Tuck shapes the melodies firmly, and she and Bonynge are completely in tune with each other. Recorded sound is well balanced, giving sufficient weight to the soloist without slighting the orchestra… there is much pleasure to be found here.”

Henry Fogel – Fanfare – September 2015

“…Ms. Tuck handles everything Czerny throws at her with aplomb… The orchestra plays fine and is balanced naturally with the soloist.”

Stephen Wright – American Record Guide – July 2015

“…it is useful to hear [Czerny’s] more complex compositions well performed by Rosemary Tuck and the ECO under Richard Bonynge.” ***

James McCarthy – Limelightmagazine.au – July 2015

“…The recording quality is good, and the English Chamber Orchestra provides a secure…accompaniment. Australian pianist, Rosemary Tuck, despatches each work with real panache and élan, making light of the often complex pianistic gyrations and fireworks. She is also well able to treat the more serious parts with appropriate, if not necessarily tongue-in-cheek, solemnity. Richard Bonynge is the ideal choice of conductor here…”

Philip R Buttall – MusicWeb-International.com – April 2015
