Above all, I love the Jazz Piano Concerto (1966). Composed originally for harpsichord and for George Malcolm, it strikingly combines aspects of Malcolm's two specialisations - Baroque and jazz. In the outer movements Baroque elements are strong; but the slow movement offers clear echoes of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Everything is played with enthusiasm and finesse - definitely music to cheer a jaded palate - and is excellently recorded.
2011 edition
This Dutton disc of four delightful concertos could not be more welcome. Horovitz unerringly brings out the special qualities of each solo instrument, not least the euphonium, subject of all too few concertos.
