Margaret Fingerhut (piano) BBC Philharmonic, Paul Daniel The earliest work recorded here, The Golden River, is taken from the Newcastle years and takes its
inspiration from the short story by John Ruskin. The original version was completed in 1908 before
being completely revised and a new third movement added in June 1912 – the version you hear on this
recording. Last performed in 1913; this is the first time it has been heard in over 90 years.
In 1914 while en route to the Bayreuth Festival, Bainton was apprehended as a British civilian in wartime
Germany and interned for the next four years in Ruhleben Camp near Berlin. He was placed in charge of
music-making at the camp and became acquainted with a number of other musicians, including Ernest
MacMillan and cellist Carl Fuchs. Despite many hardships this four-year exile proved to be a period of
great creativity, resulting in Three Pieces for Orchestra and a piano concerto, his Concerto Fantasia,
which he completed in 1920, and was awarded a Carnegie Prize. Bainton’s approach to Concerto
Fantasia is original, (although possibly sparked on hearing Busoni’s Piano Concerto in 1909) the
‘Fantasia’ element being created by the opening cadenza which continually re-appears at various stages of
the work and an integral part of the thematic material. At a performance given in Birmingham in 1921,
with Bainton as soloist, the critic Alfred Sheldon wrote “… the event introduced to Birmingham the most
considerable contribution to the repertory of music for piano in combination with orchestra we have had
from a composer for many years.” Here the work is performed by Margaret Fingerhut, who has an
extensive discography with Chandos. In a recent review she was described as “an accomplished and
stylish advocate” (BBC Music Magazine). Completing the repertoire is Bainton’s only published
orchestral work, the poignantly Pavane, Idyll and Bacchanal. All premiere recordings “Delius with a splash of Eric Coates. Bainton is worth knowing, and is strongly espoused in these premiere recordings by Paul Daniel and the excellent BBC Philharmonic.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 **** “The BBC Philharmonic under the sympathetic baton of Paul Daniel seem to enjoy the experience, and the engineering is as ripe as accommodating as we have come to expect from Chandos.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Roderick Williams (baritone) BBC Concert Orchestra, Martin Yates Recorded at The Colosseum, Town Hall, Watford, 5-6 June 2007 “Roderick Williams is his usual mellifluous self, but these baritone songs, often orchestrated by other hands, are a very mixed bag…” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 *** “Roderick Williams is, as ever, admirable in the quality of his tone, the clarity of his diction and the cleanness of his style. The well arranged orchestral accompaniments are sympathetically conducted and carefully played.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
