Here we have coruscating performances by Simon Callaghan and the Sinfonieorchester St Gallen of three of Reinecke’s four piano concertos. Written respectively in 1860, 1872 and 1900, they reflect big changes both in their musical hinterland and in his evolving art.

Callaghan certainly plays them with conviction...he and Pitrénas give Reinecke’s invention space to breathe. The melodic invention is not so individual as that of Brahms or Robert Schumann, but [No. 1] is a fine work that deserves a place on the concert platform...This is a delightful disc and leaves me hoping that Hyperion will give us the Third Concerto (perhaps with the early Konzertstück Op 33) in due course.
