Concerto Piano
Amazon.com Schulhoff wrote his Concerto for Piano and Small Orchestra in 1913, gave it the opus number 11, and then forgot about it. It was probably never performed during his lifetime. It features a virtuoso piano part, which Schulhoff obviously wrote for himself, and a spiky style somewhat reminiscent of early Prokofiev. The Second Concerto, from 1923, was performed several times, mostly by the composer. This piece brings in the jazz style of Schulhoff's maturity, and although it's not very congruous, it's still highly entertaining. Too bad Supraphon couldn't put more music on this disc (45:00), but with such outstanding performances and partly unique repertoire (the First Concerto), the disc is still very much worthwhile for those interested in this fascinating composer. --Leslie Gerber
