Bendix's concerto is quite simply one of the great piano concertos of the 19th century yet it is hardly known, probably for two reasons: Bendix does not have a particularly distinctive style and this work, most unusually for its period, is not a display concerto and so would not appeal to all pianists. However, the concerto's ideas are first-rate and the whole piece is superbly constructed and very tautly argued. Although Bendix's symphonies are clearly influenced by the Russian school, this concerto is more Germanic in style so, if you like Brahms, give it a try. It will take a few hearings to find your way around but the rewards will be enormous.
Simonsen's concerto, which dates from 1915, is less impressive. The first movement is not memorable melodically (I rather wished the second theme would turn out to be "These Foolish Things Remind Me Of You" but it never got that far!) and there is little real development until the extraordinary and enormously imposing cadenza (superbly dispatched by Marshev here.) The slow movement has a more romantic feel and is well sustained while the finale has a strong second theme and a first theme which is thoroughly worked out. All in all, though, this concerto is less memorable melodically and far less well constructed than the one by Bendix.
Marshev is a superb pianist and he plays these concertos for all they're worth. The recording is a little close for my taste (there's a lot of breathy flute playing) but it is well balanced and certainly packs a punch!
