Review: Goetz, Wieniawski: Piano Concertos (Hamish Milne)
The performances by soloist and orchestra are first-rate but nothing can make these works very original.

The performances by soloist and orchestra are first-rate but nothing can make these works very original.
A young Russian virtuoso, Anna Vinnitskaya, takes a considered and personal approach to the work.
These performances don’t surpass the likes of Karajan or Kletzki but they are thoroughly recommendable.
The main item on the disc is a recently-discovered concerto by Gioachino Rossini, or at least attributed to him by some scholars.
