Rawsthorne Symphonic Studies, Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

"I've always thought the Studies his masterpiece, a truly cogent, impressive and tensile work that wears its academic title with almost ironic brilliance. The sense of accomplishment is brilliantly realised in this triumphant performance." Johathan Woolf, musicweb-international.com "I've long cherished Sir John Pritchard's splendid 1975 recording of Rawsthorne's tremendously compelling Symphonic Studies...and am now delighted to be able to report that it re-emerges on CD in demonstration-worthy fashion."
