Arthur Sullivan Piano Concerto No. 1

by Johannes Glück

This masterful 25-minute work for piano and orchestra meticulously re-imagines the graceful melodic brilliance of Sir Arthur Sullivan within the elegant form and style of a Mozart concerto, presenting an entirely new classical experience.

“What a delight! And some interesting musical sources too – took a little head scratching before I placed one of the tunes in the first movement as a non-Gilbert piece. Considering the orchestra is a virtual one, the sound is really good; and the composer’s piano playing (live I think) is virtuosic. The Mozartian style while not pervading the whole piece is very apt. Highly recommended!” –

“It is without question one of the most enjoyable things I have heard so far this year. […] Glück has imagined a complete three movement concerto in much the same way as Sir Charles Mackerras created the score of Pineapple Poll – taking a selection of tunes, putting them together in a totally logical, serious and musically coherent way, and writing a suitable orchestration. As with the ballet, in the concerto the tunes are instantly recognizable, but they often come and go with such swiftness, and in continually evolving musical variety and development, that it’s not possible to name them at once. […] The composer/arranger is the impeccable soloist in this recording, performing with a ‘virtual’ orchestra that is indistinguishable from the real thing.” –
