You won't like this, guys, but RPC No. 50 is to be the Tchaikovsky concertante works, played by Stephen Hough (who is performing the concertos at the Proms this year). Personally, I think it will be a good set - and, after all, the series is called the Romantic Piano Concerto, not the obscure or unsung Romantic Piano Concerto.
Incidentally, I have just listened to the Jozef Wieniawski PC on a disk Mark kindly burned for me. I like it - very Lisztian, especially in its declamatory opening. Somewhat rhapsodic (but so was Liszt). A lovely slow movt in decorative salon style. And a finale with the potential to coruscate deliciously in the hands of an expert pianist. Altogether a lovely work.
