Announced as ‘ Coming soon’ on Hyperion’s website - the Piano Concertos by Rubbra and Bliss, played by Piers Lane.
The two existing recordings of the Rubbra, a much underrated work, by Denis Matthews and Malcolm Binns, are elderly and in mono, so a new recording is much to be welcomed.
As for the Bliss, a modern recording is a bonus.
Having being an avid collector of the Hyperion RPC series until the early volumes in the 20s and then been very choosey, I will consider this release. Whilst I have a recording of the Rubbra, I haven't listened to it for years and don't recall a note. The
Cello Concerto and, especially, the
Violin Concerto of Bliss, to my mind, are much more interesting than the
Piano Concerto.
Glad to see that.... Since I have all 80 CDs in the series.. I look forward to #81. Number 80 with Dupont/Benoit was wonderful ..
