FRIEDRICH KUHLAUPiano Concerto in C majorMarianna Shirinyan, pianoSjællands SymfoniorkesterRolf GuptaOctober 19, 2010Copenhagen

When a rip-off of Beethoven's C-major piano concerto is so obvious, it is no longer an act of theft, but rather an act of blind adulation and worship of the Master. Being a musical pervert that I am, I have a soft spot for such derivative piano works; and Kuhlau's concerto gives me as much guilty pleasure as concertos by Hummel, Ries, Moscheles, Kullak, Sterndale Bennett, Thalberg, and many other early 19th century pianists-composers. There is something melancholy about these relics of the piano's glory age, even if in their similarity to one another they remind me of a large and heavily inbred clan of good-natured folks from some village in the mountains of West Virginia.
In any case, the concerto is lovingly played by the Armenian-born, Copenhagen-based Marianna Shirinyan, and I can think of at least one piano buff (a fellow blogger) who might find this well-recorded, live and unedited performance as enjoyable as I have.
