About
Listening to these fluent, expressive performances, it’s difficult to see how even Cramer—one of the great virtuosos of his day—could have matched the effortless mastery so characteristic of Howard Shelley’s pianism.

Awards and reviews
July 2019
Cramer’s piano writing in and of itself is ingenuous, idiomatic and alive, and almost always holds your attention…It takes a special kind of pianist to make certain pieces sound better or more important than they actually are, and Shelley certainly knows how to sell Cramer. His inflections of phrase convey palpable tension and release, while long, sustained cantabiles unfold with vocally orientated modulation.
August 2019
With delightful playing from the London Mozart Players and a most comfortable recorded sound, armchair listeners will find much to delight them here.
