Capsule Summary
Piano Concerto No. 2 is taken from Jean-Philippe Collard’s EMI recording, but was transferred a half step flat on the Hatto CD, causing it to play back in F-sharp minor rather than G minor. Piano Concerto No. 4 is heavily edited, going back and forth between Angela Brownridge and Collard in the first movement, and between Brownridge and Stephen HoughPiano Concerto No. 5 from Anna Malikova’s Audite recording.
