Recent Highlights
John Ireland is widely regarded as one of the greatest British composers of the twentieth century, his contribution to the piano solo repertoire is of great significance.
This album, performed by award-winning pianist Rebeca Omordia, is an exploration of John Ireland’s piano music composed over a period of almost forty years, his distinctly English yet individualistic musical style is reflected in works bearing evocative titles that reveal Ireland’s deep connection to landscapes and literature, creating a unique sound world.
Championing the rich, lyrical voice of Henriëtte Bosmans in a trio of concertante works and orchestral song, cellist Gemma Rosefield brings deep emotional insight to both Poème and the exquisite Second Concerto for cello, their expressive breadth deftly realised under George Vass’s assured direction. The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra offers vivid, idiomatic support throughout. A compelling portrait of one of the Netherlands’ most distinctive musical voices, Bosmans’ music emerges here as both intensely personal and of striking universal appeal.
Another recent highlight is the debut album from Aïda Lahlou presents a vivid reinterpretation of Ravel's Miroirs, illuminating the work's resonances within the wider piano repertoire by placing it in conversation with lesser-known miniatures from around the world. From luminous and atmospheric bell textures to incisive dance rhythms, we are guided through a narrative exploring the themes of nature, spirituality, memory and self-discovery. A compelling artistic statement from a distinctive new voice in classical piano.
