Synopsis

Product Description
The recent revival of York Bowen's music, very much spearheaded by Hyperion, has spawned a plethora of new recordings and won the composer many new admirers. Among the new releases, this disc of Bowen's piano sonata is a uniquely important collection. It contains three premiere recordings, including two recordings of previously unpublished sonatas performed (with special permission) from the manuscripts. It is thus the first ever recording of the complete sonatas -- an unmissable opportunity for piano enthusiasts. Hyperion is delighted to welcome back the young virtuoso Danny Driver who was enthusiastically acclaimed for his masterly, stylish and technically dazzling performances of Bowen's third and fourth piano concertos.

Bowen's Piano Music - A Pleasant Pastime
Robert L. Mackenzie | Powell, TN United States | 01/10/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Bowen's piano music is certainly underrated and seldom heard. This two disc set provides an anthology that is well performed Danny Driver (one senses that he has a special affinity for this music) and presents Bowen's music in the best possible light. Although the music does not plumb the depths of greatness it has its own individuality and provides a pleasant listening experience."
