Bax: Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2; Dream in Exile; Nereid (2004) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Arnold Bax

If you love the symphonies and symphonic poem of self-proclaimed "brazen Romantic" Arnold Bax, then you will have to hear this disc of his piano music. All that is in Bax's symphonies and symphonic poems is in his two Piano Sonatas -- the passionate themes, the gargantuan sonorities, the colossal structures, the overwrought development sections, ...

Elgar: Piano Music

Elgar: Piano Music (2006) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Edward Elgar

It's more than possible that even the most devoted Elgar aficionado might not know that the late Romantic English master of the symphony and the oratorio also wrote piano music. At first, Elgar, like his contemporaries Sibelius and Strauss, seems to be a composer whose invention is invariably associated with the specific sound of the modern ...

Bridge: Piano Music

Bridge: Piano Music (2006) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Frank Bridge

In the old music school game of "Name That Composer," this piano music disc would have stumped everyone. Go ahead -- start it anywhere and try to guess who it is. Is it Claude Debussy? Could be: the pellucid melodies and whole tone harmonies are the hallmarks of the French composer. Is it Alexander Scriabin? Could be: the rhapsodic forms and ...

Bax: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 & 3

Bax: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 & 3 (2006) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano), Laurence Jackson (violin)
composed by Arnold Bax

If you love the super-saturated romantic music of twentieth century English composer Arnold Bax and you already have all his orchestral works, you might consider checking out this disc of two of his three violin sonatas. In these wholly persuasive performances by violinist Laurence Jackson and pianist Ashley Wass, Bax's violin work is just as ...

Bax: Music for Two Pianos

Bax: Music for Two Pianos (2007) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano), Martin Roscoe (piano)
composed by Arnold Bax

Ashley Wass continues his recordings of Arnold Bax's piano music for Naxos with this volume of music for two pianos made with Martin Roscoe. This is only the second recording made of these particular works, and with Wass' and Roscoe's excellent performance, it's hard not to talk about the worthiness of the music. Some may think of it as imitative ...

Bridge: Piano Music

Bridge: Piano Music (2007) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Frank Bridge

The inevitable follow-up to Frank Bridge Piano Music 1, the disc called Frank Bridge Piano Music 2 may ultimately wind up being the more frequently played of the pair. Although the first has its many charms and delights, A Fairy Tale and In Autumn chief among them, the second has the Piano Sonata -- and that puts it in a class of its own. As fans ...

Bax: Piano Sonatas Nos. 3 & 4; Water Music; Winter Waters (2005) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Arnold Bax

Ashley Wass offers his second disc of the piano works of Arnold Bax here, featuring Bax's Third and Fourth Sonatas and a few shorter pieces. The large, colorful orchestral sounds of Bax's writing are found in the Sonata No. 3 and in the piece called Water Music, while the Sonata No. 4 and Winter Waters are more pianistic works, but no less ...

Bax: The Princess's Rose Garden: Aean; A Hill Tune; Lullaby

Bax: The Princess's Rose Garden: Aean; A Hill Tune; Lullaby (2006) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by Arnold Bax

Evocative titles often tell a lot about a piece of music. From Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk to Janácek's In Tears to Satie's Three Pieces in the Form of a Pear, the titles can give the listener a vital clue about the meaning of the music. And so it is in this disc of light piano by self-proclaimed "brazen romantic" Arnold Bax. With works named ...

William Alwyn: Piano Music, Vol. 2

William Alwyn: Piano Music, Vol. 2 (2008) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by William Alwyn

Ashley Wass' second disc of piano music by William Alwyn stretches from Alwyn's first published work for solo piano to his last (with the exception of the educational Twelve Diversions for the Five Fingers). Hunter's Moon, three brief character pieces, was written as an examination piece in 1932. The three Movements, at the end of the disc, date ...

Ernst: Elegy; Othello Fantasy; 6 Studies for Solo Violin (2008) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano), Ilya Gringolts (violin)
composed by Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst

Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst was nothing more than a stupendously talented violinist and a staggeringly inventive transcriber of other composers' music. And as this 2008 Hyperion recording by violinist Ilya Gringolts shows, that is more than enough to sustain his career during his lifetime and just enough to maintain his reputation after his death. The ...

Arnold Bax: Violin Sonatas, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano), Laurence Jackson (violin)
composed by Arnold Bax

For fans of the music of Arnold Bax, this second volume in Naxos' series of recordings of the composer's complete works for violin and piano will be required listening. Most of the works here have rarely if ever been recorded before, much less been released on a label with international distribution; even those works that have had that distinction ...

Bax: Symphonic Variations

Bax: Symphonic Variations (2009) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano), Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, James Judd (conductor)
composed by Arnold Bax

If this 2009 recording had been made 40 years earlier, it would certainly have been released on EMI. With a pair of works by one of England's best second-rank twentieth century composers plus performances by one of England's best provincial orchestras and one of her best up-and-coming piano virtuosos, it would have been a natural for one of ...

Bridge: Piano Trio No. 2; Phantasie Trio; Miniatures (2009) more music like this

performed by Alexander Chaushian (cello), Ashley Wass (piano), Jack Liebeck (violin)
composed by Frank Bridge

Often lost in the shadow of his wildly successful student Benjamin Britten, the works of Frank Bridge are still continuing to earn the respect they so deserve. The English composer had three main style periods, ranging from deeply Romantic to nearly avant-garde. This Naxos album of Bridge's works for piano trio represents two of these style ...

William Alwyn: Piano Music 1

William Alwyn: Piano Music 1 (2007) more music like this

performed by Ashley Wass (piano)
composed by William Alwyn

This disc, Vol. 1 in Ashley Wass' recordings of the complete solo piano works of William Alwyn, contains 31 of the English composer's 150 individual works for the instrument. Most of the music here comes from the interwar period, starting with the very early and intensely atmospheric April Morn, written between 1924 and 1926, though the best of it ...
