.... with apologies to a well known book series - unfortunately I don't know a thousand romantic piano concertos....  :-[

My list in no special order:

Medtner 2
Stenhammar 1
Alnaes
Röntgen 2
de Castillon
Goetz 2 (the B flat one...)
Raff
Reinecke 3
Scharwenka 4
Hahn

Couldn't bring myself to add any Rubinsteins for fear of being flamed  :D

I'm no expert really - as a trombone player I seldom hear what the pianist is doing anyway!

Feel free to add and/or subtract!

I've just acquired the Wilhelm Berger Variations and Fugue Op. 97 on Koch Schwann and was knocked out by it.  I love this form, and it got me wondering how many others there are (and how many others recorded)?

Discounting "Enigma" as wildly "sung", I also have multiple versions of the big Reger pair, the Helena Variations of Bantock, the Metamorphoseon by Respighi (love them!), the Chamisso set by Reznicek and the Parry Symphonic Variations (glorious) - and that's about it (or at least - all I can remember - I have a pretty large collection though....)

What chance of other Unsung sets of Variations coming my way?
