About
Following the remarkable success of Victor Sangiorgio’s recording of Benjamin Godard’s delightful First Piano Concerto for Dutton Epoch, we now have Godard’s even more tuneful Second Concerto of 1893 and the colourful Fantaisie Persane (1894), also for piano and orchestra, both of which are essential listening for Godard fans. Conductor Martin Yates completes the programme with orchestral music from two of Godard’s operas – the powerful overture to Les Guelfes of 1882 and the orchestral suites from Jocelyn (1887), until now only remembered for the enchanting Berceuse, here played by Aleksei Kiseliov in its version for cello and orchestra.
Includes world premiere recordings.
Recorded: Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 17-18 May 2012
