Bowen/piano Music

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
York Bowen ranks as one of the greatest virtuoso pianists England has seen. His vast output of piano compositions stands comparison with that of Rachmaninov and yet has remained largely neglected: he was a figure who wrote the the sort of music he loved not the new 'trendy' music his own generation demanded. "York Bowen is master of every kind of piano writing, which, great artist that he is, he uses not to the ends of trumpery and empty virtuoso affichage, but to the purposes of the powerful brilliant glowing and rich expression of a very individual beautiful and interesting musical thought York Bowen is, at the present time, the one English composer whose work can justly be said to be that of a great Master of the instrument, as Rachmaninov was or as Medtner is." (Sorabji).

REVIEW
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE / CRITICS' CHOICE 'This disc came as quite a revelation . This eloquent new collection suggests that a radical reappraisal of Bowen's compositional achievement is long overdue . It is well-nigh impossible to imagine a more sensitive or imperious advocate for Bowen's art than Stephen Hough who responds with his customary effortless technical mastery, rapt affection and intrepid panache' --Gramophone
