Remarks:
Though barely remembered now, both Salomon Jadassohn and Felix Draeseke were major figures in German musical life in the second half of the 19th century. Both began their studies at the Leipzig Conservatory but after independently encountering Liszt and his work at Weimar in the 1850s both became disciples of that composer. Jadassohn subsequently returned to Leipzig where he composed and had a long and distinguished teaching career, his pupils including Delius, Grieg and Busoni. Draeseke moved to Dresden and taught at the Conservatory there. Both composers' concertos are expertly crafted and feature wonderfully idiomatic piano writing, as one would expect of Liszt pupils. While not ground-breaking these are thoroughly enjoyable examples of the genre and one must question why the Jadassohn works in particular, which have truly memorable themes, have been so completely forgotten.Reviews
