Contemporary composer Richard Pantcheff's own sonata was completed in 2017 and evokes a similarly intense emotional landscape; hence the quote from Psalm 130 that gives the album its name ('Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord'). Also here making its first recorded appearance, the 1938 Sonata by Christopher Edmunds bubbles over with vivid pianistic colours, melting tenderness and an irresistible romantic warmth. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three sonatas are complemented and contextualised by Parry's delicious Shulbrede Tunes - affectionate portraits of the composer's family and their Sussex home - plus the first recordings of two stunning romantic showpieces by a composer better known for his vocal writing, Cecil Armstrong Gibbs. Three unpublished - and previously unrecorded - gems by Edgar Bainton add further distinctiveness to the disc. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany links of friendship and association underpin the selection of composers represented on the discs, and a special pedagogical thread connects the sonatas of Bridge and Pantcheff. The young Richard Pantcheff was mentored by Benjamin Britten, Bridge's most celebrated student, and Britten is represented by his captivating Night Piece, composed for the first Leeds International Piano Competition. Duncan Honeybourne studied the work with the competition's founder, Dame Fanny Waterman, who commissioned it in 1963 and died recently at the age of one hundred. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoneybourne says: 'It was a joy to devise this programme, featuring some masterpieces I've known for a long time and love dearly, alongside the stunning Pantcheff Sonata, which I premiered in 2019 in London at an English Music Festival concert. It is a special privilege to present the recorded premieres of some terrific pieces that have languished in manuscript for many decades, and I hope listeners will get as much pleasure from hearing these wonderful gems as I have from all the excavation and preparation. It's a great honour to bring them all together on this release.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher Edmunds: Piano Sonata In B Minor (1938): Allegro, Fieramente E Rubato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdgar Bainton: Willows (1927)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata In B Minor (1938): Lento E Mesto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdgar Bainton: The Making Of The Nightingale (1921)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata In B Minor (1938): Allegro Scherzoso (poco Rubato)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank Bridge: Piano Sonata (1921-1924): Lento Ma Non Troppo - Andante Ben Moderato - Allegro Energico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdgar Bainton: Variations And Fugue In B Minor, Op.1 (1898)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata (1921-1924): Andante Ben Moderato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCecil Armstrong Gibbs: An Essex Rhapsody, Op.36 (1921)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata (1921-1924): Lento - Allegro Non Troppo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCecil Armstrong Gibbs: Ballade In D Flat (1940)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Britten: Night Piece (Notturno) (1963)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Pantcheef: Nocturnus V - Wind Oor Die Branders (2015)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Pantcheff: Piano Sonata (2017): Inquieto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHubert Parry: Shulbrede Tunes (1914): Shulbrede\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata (2017): Elegia: Lento E Tenebroso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Elizabeth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Sonata (2017): Alla Vortice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Dolly No.1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Bogies And Sprites That Gambol By Nights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Matthew\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Prior's Chamber By Firelight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Children's Pranks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Dolly No.2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): In The Garden With The Dew On The Grass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShulbrede Tunes (1914): Father Playmate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55469967245697,"sku":"1281402","price":21.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/412WNp4v2PS._SL1500.jpg?v=1774471195","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1281402","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
