Czerny produced much more besides teaching aides, including several piano concerto, the first of which receives – incredibly – its premiere recording here. Australian pianist Rosemary Tuck demonstrates the beauty and delicacy of the filigree melodies in the first movement, and the cadenza, written by Tuck and Alan Jones, glints and glitters…There is thoughtful balance between soloist and ensemble.

Rosemary Tuck’s technical poise and genuine feeling for the idiom make a compelling case for these flawed but interesting works, while the balance between the soloist and the English chamber orchestra under Richard Bonynge’s solidly supportive leadership replicates the perspective one might perceive in a modest-sized concert hall.

The Introduzione e Rondo brillante dates from around 1833. There is rarely a cloud across its bright sparkling horizons, while the passagework of the Introduzione recalls Chopin. The ‘First Concerto’ of 1811/12, is expansive and dramatic; the exposed horn solos are beautifully played by High Seenan. Tuck plays her own brilliantly inventive cadenza, co-written with Alan Jones. Perhaps in the finale Czerny’s invention droops, but the concerto remains notable.
