Jadassohn's two concertos are compact (15 and 23 minutes respectively), full of Lisztian fireworks, formally experimental, and a great deal of fun. Draeseke was one of many German composers who straddled the Wagner and Brahms camps, which is probably why he fell between the cracks historically. But he marries elements of both schools together very effectively, and if his handling of form is more traditional and the thematic material not perhaps instantly memorable, the work as a whole makes for very satisfying listening. Markus Becker's confident, technically adroit performances certainly make the best possible case for all three works, and he receives excellent support from Michael Sanderling and the Berlin Radio orchestra. Typically fine sound guarantees collectors of this series complete satisfaction, while novice listeners interested in good Romantic music should consider this strongly as well. Recommended without reservations.
