Following
his highly acclaimed previous recording
for the British Music Society of piano
music by Patrick Piggott (BMS430CD),
distinguished English concert pianist
Malcolm Binns has now recorded an
historically important and exciting
recital of six famous English piano
sonatas: four by Arnold Bax, and those
by John Ireland and Frank Bridge -
all written during the first three
decades of the twentieth century.
The 2CD set will be released to mark
the Fiftieth Anniversary year of Malcolm
Binns' London debut recital at the
Wigmore Hall.
Of
particular historic interest is that
for these recordings Malcolm Binns
has consulted the original manuscripts
of the Bax sonatas held in the British
Library, and incorporated his findings
in his readings, which will include
two short Appendices of music from
the Second Sonata which was excised
before final publication. He has also
used the little-known 1951 revision
of the Ireland Piano Sonata for his
performance - a revision which is
described and discussed in an article
by producer John Talbot published
in the 2007 edition of the Society's
journal British Music. Included in
the accompanying CD booklet is a transcript
of a recent conversation about these
recordings between Malcolm Binns and
Lewis Foreman, whose definitive biography
of Arnold Bax was republished in 2007
by the Boydell Press, in a third edition
newly revised and enlarged by the
author.

''...when
played [Bax] with such enraptured
intensity as by Malcolm Binns...the
music's ecstatic chromaticism possesses
a Scriabinesque hypnotic power. Binns
also tames the technical intricacies
of the Ireland and Bridge sonatas
to a remarkable degree...'' (International
Piano)
''...a resounding success for Malcolm
Binns and a feather in the BMS cap...the
sound quality retains the high definition
imperative for music of such personality.''
(International Record Review)
''...a generous and stimulating set
that no dedicated Anglophile should
overlook.'' (Gramophone)
''...all
six of these pieces are of greater
stature than their present rating
would imply, and they here receive
the masterly performances on disc
they have long deserved...he gives
the best performance I have heard
of John Ireland's Sonata...this is
an essential issue.'' (Musical

He writes with a sure touch: a feeling
for the poems, and a well defined
musical idea as the starting-point
for his settings...Both singers deserve
gratitude, with William Berger showing
once again that he is one of the best
of our younger baritones. John Talbot
is the excellent pianist, catching
the mood of each song and sensitive
to every development. (John
Steane Gramophone)
I hope that these songs find a constituency
both within and beyond these shores...Performances
are admirable. (Piers

A most welcome and, in its own way,
important disc - admirers of British
twentieth-century music should certainly
acquire it.
(Robert Matthew-Walker, International
Record Review)
Malcolm Binns's lyrical freshness and
technical brilliance - the flair of
his performances, too - make an excellent
case for the composer.
(Stephen Plaistow, Gramophone)
Malcolm Binns...meets the fearsome challenge
of Piggott's piano writing head-on and
emerges triumphant.
(Martin Anderson, International Piano)
This is all fascinating music by a highly
individual musician...
It is played persuasively and expertly
by an artist who really understands
its ruminative intricacies, and very
naturally recorded.
(Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
Binns's performances seem exemplary...these
are cogent and passionate readings,
beautifully recorded. (Calum MacDonald,

An

the most amazing pianistic composition
of the 20th century. (Calum MacDonald,
International Piano)
Habermann performs extraordinary technical
and musical feats: these discs are a
must for anyone interested in post-Romantic
piano music.
(Martin Cotton, BBC Music Magazine)
...there can be no doubting the extent
of Habermann's sympathies, nor the depth
of his insight. (Richard Whitehouse,
Gramophone)
(Habermann) has internalized this composer's
daunting aesthetic to unprecedented
and possibly unsurpassed degrees.
(Jed Distler, International Record

Habermann is a splendid exponent of
the pyrotechnical wizardry and the richness
of these scores.

The first BMS Historic release, in the Society's Twenty-Fifth

time since its original appearance on LP in 1952, this performance
of Sir Arthur Bliss's mighty Piano Concerto remains for many the

The generous coupling includes the two other twentieth-century piano
concertos Mewton-Wood recorded before his tragic death at the age of
thirty-one in December 1953.
"Mewton-Wood gives the performance of his life, a performance
of youthful ardour (and endurance) ... a most exciting and
satisfactory affair." (Alec Robertson in Gramophone,
November 1953

A set warmly welcomed
by Felix Aprahamian as including organ-playing that ‘is exemplary and
the recorded sound [is] splendid.’ … ‘welcome this attempt to widen the
repertoire. After which, and after all, the choice is theirs and ours.
The repertoire includes Neil Cockburn, (First Prize Winner) in Lemare’s
Toccata di Concerto as well as Whitlock’s Sonata Scherzetto.
Stephen Disley (Second Prize) revives Harwood’s Dithyramb,
acknowledging Howells (Intrada No. 2) before the true status of
Willan’s Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue. Graham M. Scott
(Highly Commended) places two of Parry’s Chorale Fantasias
between Walmisley and Harris. As well as Whitlock’s Fantasie Choral
No. 2 Stuart Nicholson (Commended) revives the Rhapsody on a
Ground by Heathcote Statham, … Peter Locke and Henry Fairs add
Edmund T. Chipp and C. Swinnerton Heap whose names are in the lucky list
of British composers to whom the Society has given this airing.’
