JOHANN WILHELM WILMS (1772-1847): Concerto for Piano (or Harpsichord) and Orchestra in E, Op. 3, Piano Concertos in C, Op. 12 and in D, Op. 26.

Description: Five of the “Dutch Beethoven’s” seven piano concertos have survived and these are the first three, dating from c.1796,1807 and 1812 and each more engaging for the audience and the soloist than the last with the third having a virtuoso brilliance that could stand with any competitor from the same period. The remaining two concertos will follow. Ronald Brautigam (fortepiano), Kölner Akademie; Michael Alexander Willens.
