Synopsis

Album Description
From the 1950s on, Lennox Berkeley (1903-1989) was considered a leading British composer of the generation of Walton and Tippett. His output for the piano in solos, duos, concertos, and chamber music is unrivalled in the British 20th century scene. The Piano Concerto was written for Colin Horsley, who gave the first performance in the Royal Albert Hall in 1948 with the London Symphony Orchestra. The Concerto for Two Pianos was commissioned by the Henry Wood Concert Society. It was premiered in 1958 with the LSO conducted by Malcolm Sargent.
