Hiller was admired by Schumann, who described him as the exemplar of 'how to combine orchestra and piano in brilliant fashion'. One of the most imposing musical personalities of the nineteenth century, close friends with the likes of Rossini, Liszt, Berlioz, etc., Hiller was nevertheless largely forgotten less than 20 years after his death. The Second Concerto is a genuine forgotten masterpiece, and Hyperion has been looking for the right opportunity to record it for many years.
