Lost manuscript found!
|
A score of the oboe concerto premiered by Leon Goossens and the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Stanford Robinson at the Royal Albert Hall, London and lost since 1960 has just been discovered, thanks to the diligent work of Lewis Foreman, author and longtime advocate of Scott's music.
It is to be recorded on the Dutton label next year with Jonathan Small as soloist and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Martin Yates. |

concert encore:
Lotus Land
|
"James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong gave a scrumptious encore - Cyril Scott's voluptuously langourous Lotus Land."
Ken Winters, Toronto Globe & Mail.
"Lotus Land is fast becoming one of my favourite encore pieces."
James Ehnes, violinist.

Originally written for piano, Scott praised the violin arrangement by Fritz Kreisler and said he actually preferred it and would have written it for violin himself if his publisher had not dissuaded him, telling him violin pieces didn't sell as well as piano! Both versions have been recorded many times over and there are some fifty arrangements for every conceivable instrument, including two with vocals. |

The final double CD of piano music recorded for Dutton Labs by Leslie De’Ath is due out February 2009.
Saving the best for the last it includes some of Scott’s most famous pieces such as Lotus Land, Danse Negre, the five Poems, Water Wagtail and Rainbow Trout as well as many less familiar works never before recorded. They range from An English Waltz (c.1900) dedicated to Percy Grainger who played it on tour with Adelina Patti in 1902, to Pastoral Ode (1961).
Leslie De’Ath and Anya Alexeyev also play Danse Negre and Lotus Land in two-piano transcriptions that Scott probably made for use as encores when he and Esther Fisher were performing together in the 1930’s. |

The Cyril Scott revival continues with
the first performance of the HARPSICHORD CONCERTO
since its premiere at the Wigmore Hall over 70 years ago!
It will be performed by the virtuoso American-born
harpsichordist Jory Vinikour
with The Orion orchestra
conducted by the brilliant young English conductor Toby Purser.
Also on the programme is
the Concertino for Harpsichord by Walter Leigh (1905-1942),
who sadly died young, killed in action during WW11.
Leigh's concertino was composed in 1936, Scott's in 1937.
Two modern harpsichord concertos,
both hitherto neglected and written within a year of each other
by two very different English composers
should make for a fascinating concert!
