Bennett’s first three piano concertos were composed at a rate of one a year, in 1832, 1833 and 1834, each one being started during his Summer vacation and completed during the Autumn term at the Royal Academy of Music. The First Concerto made such an impact that Bennett was invited to perform it before King William IV and Queen Adelaide at Windsor Castle.

Reviews:
"Perhaps it was hearing Mendelssohn play his G minor Concerto in 1832 that prompted the sixteen-year old Sterndale Bennett to write his concerto in D minor and a work of extraordinary fluency and accomplishment. David Byers, speaks of Bennett's 'gentle lyricism, the strength and energy of the orchestral tuttis'; and they are in ample evidence. No praise can be too high for the playing of Malcolm Binns whose fleetness of finger and poetic sensibility are a constant source of delight. The engineers produce sound of the highest quality. A most enjoyable disc." PENGUIN GUIDE 'Rosette' **** PENGUIN GUIDE 2010
