About this product
As a composer of art-song, Ian Venables is considered to be one of the most important writing today. The Songs of Ian Venables (8.572514), Volume 21 of Naxos' critically acclaimed English Song Series, was the first devoted to a living composer. This new recording introduces US to his music for solo piano and brings together works written between 1975 and 2001. It is Venables' singular melodic gift and highly inventive use of harmony that combine to give US works that range from the deeply reflective and wistful to those in a lighter vein, full of charm and joie de vivre. Album Tracks 1. Caprice, Op. 35 2. Temple to Apollo 3. Palladio's Bridge 4. Pantheon 5. The Grotto 6. Caprice 7. Dance of the Teddy Bears 8. Folk Tune 9. Impromptu, Op. 8, 'The Nightingale and the Rose' 10. Portrait of Janis, Op. 9 11. Molto Adagio - Allegro Energico 12. Allegro Scherzando 13. Molto Adagio Ed Espressivo

Despite his facility in playing the violin and the importance he attached to his lessons with Albert Sammons, Lloyd was relatively slow to compose works for his own instrument. It was not until 1970 that Lloyd wrote Violin Concerto No.1, his first piece with a leading role for his own instrument, but this achievement seemed to stir his enthusiasm and during the next seven years he completed a number of pieces for violin and piano, a fully-fledged sonata and a second concerto. The Seven Extracts from 'The Serf' for violin and piano (1974) were published in 2024, and are here recorded for the first time. © Paul Conway Album Tracks 1. Lament, Air and Dance~I. Lament 2.
