J.S. Bach, The Works for Organ, Volume XV

"... the outstanding feature is Bowyer’s own playing. Always able to come up with enjoyable and eminently listenable performances as a result of his phenomenal technique and intense musicianship, his playing here has real authority."

Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957), The piano music

From precocious child through to acclaimed Hollywood film composer, Korngold's career never ran quite true to form. Although hailed as a true child prodigy by Strauss and Mahler, his true promise as a composer of varied and substantial works was never quite fulfilled. However, from his earliest works, Korngold wrote highly personal and astoundingly virtuosic music for the piano. Here the piano works are collected together for the first time, including a number of world premiere recordings.

Prima Voce - Fernando De Lucia (1860 -1925)

To devotees of vocal art, and in particular to those collectors of recordings of artists active in the last years of the 19th and early decades of the 20th centuries the name of Fernando De Lucia has epitomised what has generally become accepted as the ‘Bel Canto’ style. The selections chosen for this Compact Disc are sung in Italian, and show him in a number of roles he sang with distinction - he demonstrates a remarkable ability to create effects that make the hearing of familiar arias, duet and songs seem entirely fresh.
