5.0 out of 5 stars More neglected British music comes up bright and fresh, 21 Jun 2006
By Mr. S. J. Bonsor "bonsor2" (Horley, Surrey UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I first came across York Bowen when undergoing piano lessons: indeed, his piano pieces seemed to be a staple of the RCM exams.
Latterly I bought the exceptional disc of his Viola Concerto with Lawrence Power as the soloist: wonderful music in a hardly extensive repertoire for that particular instrument.

The latest CD on Dutton of Bowen's Violin Concerto and 1st Piano Concerto is similarly fine, both in terms of the level of inspiration evident in the pieces, and in their performance- ideal advocacy in both cases.

The violin concerto was completed in 1913, some three years after Elgar's, and it shares with the earlier concerto an expansive architecture entirely justified by the material (The concerto also puts me in mind of Dyson's violin concerto).It also ends with an accompanied cadenza with string soloists in a Richard Strauss (Metamorphosen)mould: however, lest I give the impression that Bowen is less than original, he is always his own man. This music sounds as if it falls naturally on the violin, though it is not without its challenges, and Lorraine McAslan's warm tone is ideally suited to this music.

Similarly, Michael Dussek plays the Piano Concerto with conviction and considerable flair(Can we have the other three now please??: a flashy affair but with engaging splashes of pianistic and orchestral colour which yet rewards repeated listening.

The admirable BBC Concert Orchestra gives of its very best, as usual, under the distinguished direction of Vernon Handley. This is an enjoyable and significant release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Previously unknown British music, 24 May 2009
By Robert Meyer "Robert" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had the privilage of attending a concert in Portland, Oregon at which Conrad Tao, an excelent young Japanese American Pianist played York Bowen as his 'encore' piece. I had never heard of (Edwin, 1884-1961)York Bowen before and would normally have avoided an 'unknown' [to me] 20centuary composer as a default position. Being forceably introduced to Bowen, as it were, I was very pleasantly surprised and decided to look for more. Amazon is actually a great help here, with their marketing along the lines of: 'If you like that you may enjoy this' strategy and this has lead me to explore more 20C British and some Spanish composers:York Bowen: Piano Concerto No. 2; Piano Concerto No. 3; Symphonic Fantasia, Op. 16Ruperto Chapí: Symphony in D minor; Fantasía moriscaTomás Bretón: Andalusian Scenes; In the Alhambra; Opera Preludes.
These Bowen pieces are all Tchaikowski and Brhams (respectively) for me and the more impressive from a young Bowen. I shall try more, suggest you do too!
