This is the first volume in the series. It contains famous works, like the first Brahms concerto with Sixten Ehrling as conductor (performance highly praised by Ehrling and first class performances of the Schumann, concerto and the Franck, Symphonic Variations.His rendering of the Schumann concerto belongs to the legato school with more emphasis on detail than on exuberance. |

Peter Hill’s recording of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II wowed critics across the board in January 2012, prompting The Guardian to write: ‘With luck this is the first in a series of Bach recordings from Hill, and let’s hope Book I of the “48” follows soon.’
His performances of Bach’s first volume of masterpieces exhibit all the qualities that were identified by reviewers of Hill’s previous traversal - ‘warmth, clarity and insight’ (Classical Music Magazine,
Editor’s Choice), ‘vital communication’ (HiFi Critic),‘impeccable’ (BBC Radio 3 CD Review, Disc of the Week), ‘shimmering’ (BBC Music Magazine), ‘liquescent’ (International Record Review).
One of the leading British pianists of his generation, Peter Hill is known for his performances and recordings of twentieth-century and contemporary music as well as the classical repertoire. His complete cycles of Messiaen and of Berg, Schoenberg and Webern have received superlative acclaim. The Messiaen was described as ‘one of the most impressive solo recording projects of recent years’ (New York Times), and won Messiaen’s endorsement: ‘Beautiful technique, a true poet: I am a passionate admirer of Peter Hill’s playing’. Both sets feature in the book 1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die. |

Music of extraordinary range and power composed at the dawn of the Space Age, Ronald Stevenson’s Passacaglia on DSCH was long claimed as the biggest single stretch of music ever written for piano. It is a veritable world tour of styles as well as a single-minded exploration of its generating motif, and rising star James Willshire -- who received five-star acclaim in 2011 for his Delphian debut disc of music by Rory Boyle - has the technique and vaulting ambition to match both the work's grandeur and its immense wealth of detail.
Willshire gave the 1955 Variations on a Theme of Pizzetti its belated concert premiere just this year, and now commits it to disc as one of a number of premiere recordings. The more recent, and equally substantial Fugue, Variations and Epilogue on a Theme by Arnold Bax crystallises Stevenson’s lifelong devotion to a Celtic aesthetic as well as foregrounding his innovative approach to variation technique. A clutch of shorter works completes the picture, bringing to light some of Stevenson’s less often remarked qualities - charm, exuberance, wit and grace.
In 2000, at the age of fifteen, James was awarded an Educational Scholarship in the London International Piano Competition, the youngest British pianist to be thus recognised. He has performed at festivals throughout the UK and abroad, including the Lichfield, Cheltenham, and Winchester Festivals and many more. |
