“Konrad Jarnot is mesmerising in the opening slumber, and with noble tones from pianist Reinid Mills he makes Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Sabbath Morning at Sea' more persuasive than I've ever heard it.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 **** “Here's another fresh slant on Elgar's masterly Sea Pictures, this time a most persuasive first recording employing a make voice… With this exemplary diction, unflustered poise and focused tone… Konrad Jarnot forges an instinctive alliance with the admirable Reinild Mees, who accompanies with stylish understanding. Amanda Roocroft... contributes very creditably...” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

David Owen Norris (piano), The Works: Amanda Pitt (soprano), Mark Wilde (tenor) & Peter Savidge (baritone) A tribute to Elgar's 150th birthday (2007), David Owen Norris and The Works perform Elgar's songs and piano solos on Elgar's own 1844 Broadwood piano, including the world-premiere of his unpublished final song XTC, set to his own words. In all, this 2-CD set presents 32 of Elgar's finest songs for voice and piano, including a number never recorded before, and premiere recordings of Elgar's piano arrangements of the theme of the Cello Concerto, and the Prelude and Angel’s Farewell from Gerontius which, like Sea Pictures (sung here in its original soprano key) and the Woodland Interlude from Caractacus, were all composed at this piano. He even wrote these titles on its soundboard, along with his signature. These piano versions clearly remained in the forefront of Elgar’s mind and reveal his bold first thoughts before they may have been revised at the suggestion of others. The piano’s construction – keys slightly narrower than on a modern piano, the black keys set lower – illuminates Elgar’s intentions. The writing suddenly makes perfect sense, which it doesn’t always on a modern Steinway. The cover art is H.A. Payne’s The Enchanted Sea, which was part of the inspiration for Sea Pictures. “A veritable treasure-trove.” BBC Radio 3 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
