Highlights the link with the English Chamber Orchestra who performed the Flute Concerto with Philippa Davies and the Bassoon concerto with Laurence Perkins the year after Paul's death at St John's Smith Square. - .. READE2023 marks 25 years since the death of British composer Paul Reade. He is remembered for his delightful Victorian Kitchen Garden music (Ivor Novello Award) and television themes such as Antiques Road-show. However, he also wrote a huge range of equally wonderful but less well-known pieces, full of melodic invention, wit and fabulous energy. They are previously unpublished and unrecorded works that deserve to be heard. These are premiere recordings (except for the Chants du Roussillon) and show Paul's music at it's best: tender, poignant, humorous and uplifting, full of wonderful melodic and dramatic invention. Philippa Davies has been hailed as a 'first-rate virtuoso', with 'winning charm', 'exceptional eloquence' and an 'almost electrical response to technique'. Since her celebrated performance of Mozart's Concerto in D major at the BBC Proms in 1988, she has gained an international reputation as one of the finest flautists currently performing. |
