Sir Arthur Bliss (1891 – 1975) was an excellent conductor of his own music, but he sadly made only a limited number of commercial recordings. SOMM celebrates the 50th anniversary of Bliss’s death with a 2-CD set of important archive performances, all but two of which he didn’t record commercially, making them of particular interest.These live performances, mostly recorded at the BBC Proms and not previously made available, are skilfully remastered by long-time SOMM collaborator and executive producer, Lani Spahr. At the invitation of Edward Elgar, Bliss wrote a new work for the Three Choirs Festival in 1920. He was inspired by a book on heraldry to compose a full-scale symphony incorporating symbolic meanings associated with primary colours. Hence, the four movements of A Colour Symphony are Purple, Red, Blue, and Green. The performance issued here is with Bliss conducting his 70th birthday concert at the Proms in 1961. For his 75th birthday concert at the Proms in 1966, Bliss conducted his Piano Concerto, commissioned by the British Council in 1939. Bliss and his younger brother served during World War I, and Kennard was killed at the Battle of the Somme.

Dive into the intricacies of Rachmaninoff's Preludes, Op. 23 & 32 [24], as brought to life by the skilled hands of pianist Maurizio Zaccaria. The journey commences with the ethereal "Prelude" from the 5 Morceaux de fantaisie, Op. 3. This piece, composed when Rachmaninoff was merely 19, showcases his early brilliance, hinting at the profound compositions that would follow. The Op. 23 preludes, written during a period of personal turbulence for Rachmaninoff, reflect a range of emotions. The F-Sharp Minor Prelude exudes melancholy, while the B-Flat Major Prelude captivates with its lyrical beauty. The D Minor Prelude, known for its powerful chords, adds a dramatic flair, leading seamlessly into the bright and majestic D Major Prelude. Each prelude in this set unveils a facet of Rachmaninoff's emotional depth.

Artur Schnabel was an Austrian-American classical pianist, composer and pedagogue. Schnabel was known for his intellectual seriousness as a musician, avoiding pure technical bravura. Among the 20th century's most respected and important pianists, his playing displayed marked vitality, profundity and spirituality in the Austro-German classics, particularly the works of Beethoven and Schubert. He was the first pianist to record all of Ludwig van Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. The recordings were made in Abbey Road Studios in London on a C. Bechstein grand piano from 1932 to 1935, seven years after electrical recording was invented. Originally recorded on 78 rpm phonograph records for the His Master's Voice recording label, the recordings have since been reissued numerous times. These recordings were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1975 & into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2018.
