Recorded at: The Arts Centre of the London Oratory School, Fulham, London by kind permission of the Headmaster and Bursar, January 4th & 5th 1996
The Belfast-born composer Howard Ferguson has enjoyed an enviable reputation amongst those who really know their British music of the 20th century: his music is not great in output, but is distinguished at all times by a fastidious craftsmanship and an inspired abundance of melody. Dame Myra Hess recorded his Piano Sonata and Bagatelles, and Denis Brain his Octet - all on 78rpm discs - so this outstanding composer has not been without distinguished advocates. His Second Violin Sonata of 1948 is in three cogent movements.
The First Violin Sonata by Eugène Goossens is an outstanding work, the neglect of which - as with all of this supremely-gifted composer’s music - is quite inexplicable. The slow movement was recorded on a 78rpm disc by Andre Mangeot and the composer himself over 70 years ago - this new recording marks the first time this work has appeared complete in the British record catalogues!
The sensational success of the Second Violin Sonata by John Ireland in 1917 - it was performed nine times in the following season - may well have inspired Goossens to write his Sonata. It is surely true to say that no other English chamber work of the 20th century was ever received with greater enthusiasm than this. It remains one of Ireland’s greatest masterpieces, and should be known by all lovers of English music. |

A Few months ago Guild Music issued “English Romanticism”, a collection of Violin Sonatas by Howard Ferguson, Eugene Goossens and John Ireland played by Oliver Lewis, violin, and Jeremy Filsell, piano (Guild GMCD 7120). The impact of the largely unknown First Violin Sonata by Eugene Goossens showed it to be a very great work. The success of this issue - critically and in terms of sales - was so marked that release plans for 1996 were changed in order to accommodate a follow-up album. This second CD, our new release this month, was recorded in May and is released in June! |

Recorded at Hillesden Church, Hillesden 1997
The music of the great English conductor and composer Eugène Goossens - who died in 1962 at the age of 69 - has been unjustly neglected for far too long, and one of the most surprisingly successful of all Guild releases in 1996 was the CD English Romanticism, with Violin Sonatas by Ireland, Ferguson and Goossens played by Oliver Lewis and Jeremy Filsell. Indeed, so marked was the impact of this album that we immediately asked these artists to record Goossens’s other Sonata - and his complete music for violin and piano - with the Elgar Sonata.
Now we come with the first album devoted entirely to all of Goossens’s solo piano music - a truly significant body of work which certainly demands virtuoso playing from the pianist. In the late 1910s and 1920s Goossens was regarded as the most important English composer of his generation, and some of the dedicatees of his piano music - including Benno Moiseiwitsch - arrest to the regard in which his music was held.
Not only does this CD include all of Goossens’s music specifically written for solo piano - as he composed two operas, premiered at Covent Garden, the vocal scores of which he compiled himself, the orchestral extracts of these operas themselves constitute authentic transcriptions for solo piano by the composer - and these are also included. Much of this music is being recorded for the first time.
The result is a fabulous CD, of the greatest musical significance, which is sure to appeal to all lovers of English music of the first half of the 20th century, and to those keen to seek out the little-known byways of our musical heritage. |

Here is a completely individual Swiss romantic who also worked as a doctor. The music is on the verge of Romantic music. The first symphony is idyllic in character, while the second is much more dramatic with a beautiful crafted little scherzo. The first movement seems inspired of the Swiss cuckoo clock. This thematic idea runs through most of the symphony. Those who enjoy music by Butterworth and contemporary composers will enjoy this release. |

Two early romantic symphonies. Lindblad wrote mostly choral works. These symphonies are both sweet and memorable, in a Schumannesque style.

Another CD of music by Lindberg. The symphony is thickly orchestrated, with a surprising sense of drama and conviction. The other works are very much influenced by Swedish folk-music. Recommended! |
