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
(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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

If this 2009 recording had been made 40 years earlier, it would certainly have been released on EMI.

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 ...

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.
