Title: Little-known, exquisite music performed flawlessly.
Review: Few people have ever heard of the British composer York Bowen (1884-1961). His music has a rare grace and charm, somewhat reminiscent of Chopin, but with more modern harmonies, reminding one of Rachmaninov and sometimes even of the French impressionists. His 'feel-good' music is really a pleasure to listen to, and Bowen deserves to be much better known. It is hard to thank Stephen Hough enough for putting together this beautiful album, bringing to life a succession of short gems played with unforgettable charm and simplicity.
