Product Information
The Piano Concerto No. 1 by Eduard Künneke was written 50 years ago and oscillates between classicism and swing. Tiny Wirtz (1923–2023), a German pianist who would have celebrated her 100th birthday last year in December, performs this piece together with the Rundfunkorchester des Südwestfunks under Vladimir Kamirski. It is part of her 1977 album for the German label Koch Schwann, that also features Mendelssohn’s Serenade and Allegro giocoso, as well as Capriccio brillant.
This album is one of a second batch of 12 albums from the Koch Schwann catalogue to be released digitally for the first time. See the full set of releases.
