Advocating Dvorak

Dvorak piano concerto, Schumann piano concerto.

Performers: Stephen Hough piano, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Nelsons.

Both composers linked to Brahms, both composers only piano concerto. One secure in the repertoire, the other less familiar. But with Hough's advocacy on this disc and in concert, the attractions of the Dvorak are becoming ever clearer.
