Medtner in England Paints a Sympathetic Portrait
Careful listening reveals Medtner to be an imaginative and subtly innovative composer. I was only familiar with Medtner's piano music. This release provided me with additional insights into his style.
Penelope Thwaites Chamber Music Deeply Personal
Thwaites writes in an accessible, tonal style that effectively conveys emotion. And emotion is what her works are about.
Peter Cigleris performs Ruth Gipps chamber works
Gipps wrote music to her own high standards, regardless of fashion. Listening to these compositions a half-century later, I think it was the right decision.
