Title: Maxwell Davies Piano Concerto and Worldes Blis from Naxos
Post by: kyjo on November 30, 2012, 08:08:10 pm
Another volume in Naxos' rapidly-growing series of reissues of the now-OOP Collins Classics recordings of PMD's orchestral works will include his Piano Concerto and the Symphonic Motet "Worldes Blis" :). The performers are Kathryn Stott at the piano and the RPO under direction of the composer. See here: http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.572357

Both pieces are amazing works by this composer. Worldes Blis unfortunately has the distinction of being booed at its premiere at the Proms in the late 60s. I think it's a wonderful long slow movement in PMD's catalogue. The Piano Concerto is a lot of fun. I might pick this up just for completion's sake, despite having the Collins releases.
