Furthermore, no one can deny that Dvorak’s Op. 33 is indeed one of the most significant compositions to date from his first great creative period.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNevertheless, it is far too seldom heard in concert halls world-wide. (Hopefully, this sentence will not be interpreted as a platitude.) For that is how unjust the music history literature can be: the verdict on works dating from Dvorak’s earlier and middle periods was that they were too “similar to Brahms”. Evidently, the Piano Concerto is not exempt from this collective verdict, despite its very obvious and individual characteristics, which were deeply characteristic of Dvorak.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMartin Helmchen, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Albrecht, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738966470980,"sku":"PTC5186333-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738966503748,"sku":"PTC5186333-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738966536516,"sku":"PTC5186333-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56738966569284,"sku":"PTC5186333-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56738966602052,"sku":"PTC5186333-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308768796996,"sku":"PTC5186333-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335035593028,"sku":"PTC5186333S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC5186333.jpg?v=1790140644","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc5186333-martin-helmchen-plays-schumann-dvorak","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
