Description:

Wordsworth: Complete Music For Solo Piano by Christopher Guild, released 1 September 2023. This version of Wordsworth: Complete Music For Solo Piano comes as a 1xCD. - .. MUSIC FOR SOLO PIANO

He reputation of the Anglo-Scottish composer William Wordsworth (1908-88), great-great-grandnephew of the poet, has recently been restored by a series of Toccata Classics albums of his orchestral music. His piano music, too, was poorly known before now, none of it recorded since a handful of pieces appeared on LP 60 years ago - though his epic Piano Sonata is a work of major importance. This first ever complete recording reveals an honest, unfussy approach to the keyboard akin to that of two other major symphonists, Sibelius and Rubbra: like them, Wordsworth's primary concern seems to have been the expression of deep feeling - which makes the gentle story-telling of his miniatures for children all the more surprising.

Recorded on 13 April 2021 and 29 May 2022 (A Tale from Long Ago) in the Old Granary Studio, Beccles, Suffolk (oldgranarystudio.com) and on 2 April 2023 (Three Pieces for Piano) in Wyastone Hall, Monmouthshire (www.wyastone.co.uk) Pianos: Steinway D (Hamburg, 1986) (Old Granary Studio) and Steinway D (2011) (Wyastone Hall) This recording was made possible by the generous support of the John Ireland Trust and Dr James Reid Baxter. © Toccata Classics, London, 2023 ?
