Full Score-Carl Vine’s Piano Concerto No. 1 (1997) is one of three large-scale works composed with pianist Michael Kieran Harvey in mind – the others being his first two piano sonatas. Its composer describes it as ‘a conscious and continuous tribute to the Piano Concerto as a medium and historical entity’ a fact most apparent in the slow movement with its long melodic lines evoking both Ravel and Bach. This 25-minute concerto is cast in the familiar three-movement form with fast outer movements framing a central slow movement. The outer movements share some material (particularly in some lively conversational interchanges between piano and trumpet) and also some typicallypianistic glitter across the orchestra with harp and glockenspiel ensuring that the piano is less of an outsider than might have otherwise been the case.

Fantasia In C Minor Op.80 (Choral Fantasy)-This volume contains two of Beethoven's most unusual highly innovative and original works: the Concerto in C Major Op. 56 for piano violin cello and orchestra; and the Fantasia in C Minor Op. 80 for piano chorus and orchestra. To this day the 'Triple Concerto' remains part of a rare breed in the literature--a fascinating symphonic framework of interaction between the classical orchestra and a trio of intimately interdependent soloists. The work remains a favorite vehicle of the great Beethoven specialists with numerous recordings by legendary performers. The 'Choral Fantasy' is a rarity in the Beethoven canon of ensemble music uniting thevirtuoso display of a semi-improvisational solo piano with the vocal and instrumental richness of chorus and orchestra. Said to have been composed under great time pressure the Fantasy concludes with an extensive choral setting of a text by an unknown poet: 'Schmeichelnd hold und lieblich klingen' ('Flatteringly lovely and fair are the sounds of our life’s harmonies...Accept gladly the gifts of beautiful art...'). Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel editions this volume offers musicians and music lovers an inexpensive high-quality full score of two exceptional works.

These three short ‘pictures’ were inspired by several visits to a small part of the American East Coast an area which provides great extremes in the geography and the people.'Shelter Island' is a small island situated almost at the end of Long Island a few hours drive east of New York.

Once seen they call you back again and again.New York - or to be more precise Manhattan. For anyone who is familiar with this bizarre and wonderful city this ‘picture’ needs no explanation.
