Dr. Jeremy Dibble prepared the editions of both the Parry and Stanford concertos specifically for this recording.
Composition History
Hubert Parry, the composer of the Piano Concerto in F sharp major, began sketching its first movement in late 1878, completing the rest between March and August 1879.
Composition History
Parry's Piano Concerto in F sharp major was revived for its first public performance in one hundred years on March 2, 1995, broadcast from the Royal College of Music.
Recording & Production
The recording features Piers Lane on piano, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Martyn Brabbins as conductor.
Composition History
Charles Villiers Stanford, the composer of the Piano Concerto No 1 in G major, completed the work on October 18, 1894, for pianist Leonard Borwick.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Stanford intended his Piano Concerto No 1 to be "of a bright and butterfly nature," contrasting with the usual epic character of late 19th-century concertos.
Recording & Production
Both the Parry Piano Concerto in F sharp major and the Stanford Piano Concerto No 1 in G major are presented as first recordings on this album.
