Concerto-capriccioso in C minor
Piano Concerto No 2 in F minor
Suite for piano and string orchestra in F minor

The wonderful French pianist Cédric Tiberghien has made several admired recital and chamberrecordings. Now he joins the impressive roster of pianists who have contributed to Hyperion’sRomantic Piano Concerto series with Volume 60: Théodore Dubois. Three works by this French composer are included here, and they present a captivating panorama of the evolution of Dubois’ style over some forty years: theConcerto-capriccioso of 1876 seems like a preliminary study in the style of such composers as Weber and Mendelssohn, whereas the highlyRomantic Concerto in F minor(1897) is reminiscent of Saint-Saëns. The completely unknown Suite for piano and strings (1917), forits part,resembles a neoclassical pastiche.
