Ballade (2001)
- Cadenza Music (World)
Programme Note
This work, clearly modelled on the Chopin Ballades, was premiered by Martin Roscoe at Alfreton Hall in July 2005, who recorded it on the Dunelm label: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2005/Dec05/Roscoe_DRD0247.htm
It is designed to be attractive to all accomplished pianists with a natural preference for the romantic repertory, borrowing as it does from the 1810-1850 period, but re-heard through ears attuned equally to the piano music of Messiaen and Tippett.
