I have not heard Shelley's Chopin but have been impressed with his partial Mozart piano concerto series and the last two discs of the Hummel piano concerto series. Dave Lampson mentioned that he easily gets mixed up between Shelley and Leslie Howard; I do also. I tend to get mixed up as well by adding Stephen Hough to the picture. I try to keep these three pianists distinct in my mind by remembering that Hough is the best of the three, Shelley is a great "house" pianist, and Howard's distinction is his giant Liszt series. That distinction is less strong now as Naxos barrels ahead with its Liszt series. Although Shelley has done a fine job with Hummel, I would have preferred to see Hough finish off the series.
