    Vaughan Williams: Piano Concerto; Foulds: Dynamic Tryptich

    $20.99

    Sonically this was not one of Lyrita's best productions, with slightly dull piano sound and dense orchestral textures in works that are already quite thickly scored. The performances, though, are excellent. The single-piano version of...

    Edmund Rubbra's first four symphonies tend to be hit or miss affairs, and the Second is arguably the best of them. Owing to a resolutely undramatic style, Rubbra's finales in particular tend to bog down...

    The welcome bouquet of this motley crew of premieres and encores from the Lyrita stable. Pierson's discursive Macbeth tone poem has no specifically Scottish accent although there is the occasional bagpipe skirl. A memorable piece,...
