Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Charles Peebles, Samantha Ward - Bright & Gipps: Works for Piano & Orchestra (2019)
FLAC tracks | 01:15:19 | 294 Mb
Genre: Classical / Label: SOMM Recordings

SOMM Recordings continues its championing of British music with revelatory performances of music for piano and orchestra by Dora Bright and Ruth Gipps. Separated by six decades Bright born in 1862, Gipps in 1921 both women shared a prodigious talent as pianists before turning to composition. Three works Brights A minor Piano Concerto and Variations for Piano and Orchestra and Gipps Ambarvalia receive first recordings alongside Gipps G minor Piano Concerto. Admired by Liszt and George Bernard Shaw, Brights Piano Concerto (1892) demonstrates, says Robert Matthew-Walker in his illuminating notes, her distinctive creative mastery and expressive character…clearly that of a composer who knows the solo instrument intimately; beautifully written, supremely well-laid out for the keyboard.

Ruth Gipps (1921 – 1999) was born in the English seaside resort of Bexhill-on-Sea. Encouraged as a child by an ambitious pianist mother, she appeared locally as a prodigy pianist. She was accepted by the Royal College of Music in 1937, at the age of sixteen, having won the Caird Scholarship. She quickly matured, both as composer and pianist. She studied with Vaughan Williams and Gordon Jacob, and later the oboe with Leon Goossens. During the Second World War she gained a position as oboist with the City of Birmingham Orchestra and devoted a great deal of her time to composing. Three of the works on this album were composed during the war: the Oboe Concerto, the tone poem Death on the Pale Horse, and the overture Chanticleer (derived from an opera which, sadly, she never completed).
