Nuron Mukumi - Bowen: Piano Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Posterity likes to play with labels that are supposed to characterize lesser-known composers InchThe Catholic BachInch (Zelenka), InchThe Spanish MozartInch (Arriaga) - and InchThe English RachmaninoffInch with which the English pianist and composer York Bowen (1884-1961) was labeled. Nuron Mukumi presents his 24 Preludes op.102 here on PROSPERO. Indeed, one is immediately fascinated by this music, which is anything but a Rachmaninoff copy, but rather cultivates a style all of it's own. And one wonders how could this music be so easily forgotten? Album Tracks 1. 24 Preludes in All Major and Minor Keys Op. 102~No. 1 in C Major.
