Bliss Piano Concerto

TREVOR BARNARD (piano),
THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA
cond. SIR MALCOLM SARGENT
At last available on CD, this recording shot Trevor Barnard to fame in 1962 when released on HMV. The first stereo recording of this fine British concerto, it was subsequently re-issued by EMI as part of its "Great British Concertos" set in the 70s.

This is a broad, optimistic work - bold and pioneering but also conservative in many respects - rather like the American people to whom it is dedicated!
