About
The Piano Concerto of Viktor Ullmann was composed during his deportation to Thereseinstadt in 1942. The concerto gives the impression of restless hectic energy and is compact in form. This is balanced with Beethoven’s third piano concerto. This release marks Schuch’s début orchestral CD on Oehms.

Ullmann's score seems more indebted to the Russians' percussive brand of piano-writing than to the expressive legacy of Schoenberg, his one-time teacher...Schuch contributors some beautiful lapidary playing which in more active passages can morph into the kind of exaggeratedly keen articulation that conveys too little in the way of exhilaration.
