Synopsis

Album Description

"Binns responds whole-heartedly and very sympathetically, and with his usual brilliant technique." -- GRAMOPHONE William Sterndale Bennett (1816-1875) was an Early Romantic British composer much under the influence of Mendelssohn. Neglected until recently, Bennett's music is full of lyrical beauty and intensity, and deserves revival.

Wonderful Bennett!

"Wonderful piano and orchestral music and certainly a great recording by Lyrita. I highly recomend William Sterndale Bennett music, mainly the piano concertos. The five of'em, four recorded by Lyrita (1, 2, 3 & 5) and number 4 by Hyperion, habe been an important discovery for me."
