Notes and Editorial Reviews
January 2012
Also included, a lecture by Howard Shelley titled "Beethoven and Mozart: An Obsession?"

Review:
There are several reasons to shout about it. There's Shelley himself: a pianist whose quiet musicality and unobtrusive virtuosity shine through everything he touches. Throughout the set, there's a humanity to Shelley's music-making; it's particularly affecting in the B-flat Concerto, which he imbues with warmth as well as wit. This is a major new cycle, an important addition not only to the catalog but also to Shelley's exceptionally fine discography.
