“This set is a godsend...how many times do we hear the two piano concertos or the one for saxophone, let alone the Concerto Ballata for cello or the miniatures he wrote for violin, cello and horn?...True, Glazunov’s style did not change markedly with the years, but he knew precisely how to harness instruments’ individual expressive qualities.” The Telegraph, 25th March 2011 ***** “there's little doubt that both Serebrier and his soloists, supported by warmly idiomatic playing from the Russian National Orchestra and a beautifully clear recording, make a highly persuasive case for the reappraisal of these works.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2011 **** “The excellent soloists here all deliver everything they can - particularly Rachel Barton Pine in the winsome Violin Concerto and the short Meditation. The most strongly characterised music falls to Alexander Romanovsky: the First of the two Piano Concertos includes a brilliant and indigenous set of variations that he delivers with evident relish.” Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 *** “José Serebrier plainly loves these works...the collection starts with the Violin Concerto, beautifully played by Rachel Barton Pine, with the Russian National Orchestra playing with fine clarity and attack. The purity of Pine's playing in stratospheric regions is a delight and the galloping rhythms of the finale are infectiously exhilarating...all the works have their lyrical attractions, well recorded in clean, transparent sound.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2011 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“Glazunov's First Piano Concerto is such an immensely attractive work that its continued absence from the concert hall seems inexplicable. …German pianist Severin von Eckardstein seems hardly overawed by its evident difficulties, delivering a bravura performance especially in the brilliant set of contrasting variations of the second movement.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 ***** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

John Ogdon was born on 27th January, 1937 in Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire and died on 1st August, 1989 in London. His first serious study of the piano was at the Royal Manchester College of Music where his contemporaries were Alexander Goehr, Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies; he also studied composition with Richard Hall, all of whom have music recorded in this collection. His prowess was noticed when he replaced an indisposed soloist in Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto in Liverpool and played almost at sight. At the age of 21 he made his London debut at the Proms in 1958 with Busoni’s Concerto (which he recorded in 1967). In 1961 he was awarded the Liszt Prize in Budapest and the following year shared the coveted first prize at the Moscow Tchaikovsky competition with Vladimir Ashkenazy; this achievement launched his international career. His recordings from this time not only attest to his remarkable virtuosity and intense musicianship but also his determination to explore both rarer and modern repertoire and give them the performances that show them to their best advantage. This collection therefore contains not merely the classics – concertos by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Schumann and Grieg and solos by Liszt and Chopin – but rarer concertos by Mendelssohn, Glazunov Bartók as well as the aforementioned Busoni. The major contribution to the catalogue of recorded music must be the solo piano works by the 20th century composers: Sir Michael Tippett, Alan Rawsthorne, Alun Hoddinott, Christopher Headington, David Blake, Robert Sherlaw Johnson and his teacher and colleagues from his days in Mancheser: Richard Hall and the previously mentioned Goehr, Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies as well as works by himself. One further work requires especial mention: Ronald Stevenson’s Passacaglia on DSCH, the composer’s tribute to Dmitri Shostakovich. At over 85 minutes duration it has to be split across two CDs and the work together with Ogdon’s support of it yielded the highest praise. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
