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
Opinion)
''Malcolm Binns is one of Britain's
best-kept secrets; his pianism and musicianship are magisterial,
matched by few and surpassed by none...He penetrates their spirit
and plays with eloquence and conviction...'' (Penguin Guide
to Recorded Classical Music 2009)

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, Tempo) |

An
essential set... to explore some of 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 Review)
Habermann is a splendid exponent of the pyrotechnical wizardry
and the richness of these scores.

Reissue)
The first BMS Historic release, in the Society's Twenty-Fifth
Anniversary year. Digitally remastered and re-released for the
first time since its original appearance on LP in 1952, this
performance of Sir Arthur Bliss's mighty Piano Concerto remains
for many the most exciting, in both musical and virtuosic terms,
yet recorded. 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
"...(Mewton-Wood's) dumbfounding

BMS ORGAN AWARDS 1996 £15.00 or £5.00 each
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.’ Felix Aprahamian
