"Simon Smith is a phenomenal pianist... A strong, meaty recital, played with complete authority by a remarkable young musician" - The Herald
"I'm impressed with the way Simon Smith plays this piece - he brings an extraordinary energy to the first movement and a good deal of sensitivity and shape to the second, and I'm very glad his interpretation has been recorded here." - Stuart MacRae

Original arrangements played on period instruments by acclaimed master guitarist.
TOM KERSTENS is a major figure in guitar music today. A highly acclaimed and versatile performer on modern and period instruments, Tom is one of the most influential champions of the instrument’s cause in his roles of player, recording artist, and artistic director. Among his many awards and tributes is the prestigious Joaquin Rodrigo Commemorative Medal. He presents his new album GOYA, the music of Enrique Granados played on a Torres Guitar.
Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of Spain’s greatest composers. Alongside Isaac Albéniz and Manuel de Falla, Granados is regarded as one of the three most successful exponents of a kind of music often called Spanish musical nationalism, evoking the feel & character of Spain.
He was fascinated by the work of painter Francisco Goya (1746-1828) whose ability to depict what the composer regarded as the essence of the Spanish character, greatly inspired his music. This recording features the soloists own arrangements made from the new Urtext edition for the piano by Alicia de Larrocha and Douglas Riva, published by Boileau. |

Christine Rayner plays Ludovico Einaudi’s music for solo piano in aid of UK Cancer Charities and Research. The calming influence of the pieces selected for this collection create a sanctuary in which the stresses of daily life have no place.
“On first hearing the beautiful Le Onde by Ludovico Einaudi in 2009 I was captivated. This piece touched me deeply, and playing his music has since become a vital part of my life.
The calming influence of many of Einaudi’s works creates for me a sanctuary in which the stresses of daily life have no place. His music would undoubtedly have inspired and uplifted me during the dark months of my chemotherapy eleven years ago, and I regret that it was unknown to me at that time.
With this in mind, I humbly present my selected pieces from Einaudi’s past albums as a compilation intended to offer the listener a restful hour of peace, calm and relaxation.”
At least £1 per copy sold will be Gift-Aid donated to UK Cancer Charities. Donations from sales will also go to directly help fund Prof. Roy Bicknell’s research into alternative treatments to chemotherapy. |
