More Info:
Tying in with the 100-year anniversary in 2013 of the composer's birth, we here present two such works, performed by the BBC Philharmonic under Edward Gardner with Chandos stars Tasmin Little and Howard Shelley. The Violin Concerto, here performed dazzlingly by Little, is essentially tragic and weighty in tone, perhaps reflecting his growing concern with the escalation of war-related hostilities. Under Shelley's fingers the Piano Concerto - in a rare recording with the original third movement, "Recitative and Aria" - is generally lighter and brighter, more transparent and simpler in style.
