Recent Highlights
At the heart of this album from the Gould Piano Trio is Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat major, D. 929, a late masterpiece of emotional depth and formal ingenuity. Heard here in its complete version, the finale restores the haunting B minor passage, its circling piano figures echoing Der Leiermann, while the Andante’s cello theme weaves through the work like a recurring memory.
Alongside it is the youthful Piano Trio in B-flat major, D. 28 – fresh, lyrical, and full of promise, whilst Schubert Dances – a charming new suite of waltzes, Ländler and Deutscher arranged for piano trio by Brian Newbould, completes the programme and showcases Schubert’s lighter side. Together, these works chart a compelling path from teenage inspiration to late-style mastery.
Violinist Alda Dizdari with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Alexander Walker, presents two major works by Robin Holloway in this focused and thoughtful recording. The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, completed in 1990, is shaped around a sequence of ‘Windows’ inspired by poets Rainer Maria Rilke and John Ashbery. This album offers a clear view into Holloway’s musical language and the strong collaboration behind its performance.
This landmark recording is the first album devoted entirely to the music of Avril Coleridge-Taylor (1903–1998). A composer, conductor, pianist and singer of remarkable versatility, she long remained in the shadow of her father, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Here, at last, her artistry takes centre stage. Featuring world-premiere recordings of some of her most significant orchestral works, the album reveals a distinctive musical voice – eloquent, assured, and deeply personal. Together, these performances stand as a powerful testament to her creativity and resilience, illuminating the experiences of a woman of colour in twentieth-century Britain.
