The eighteenth-century English composer John Stanley , who was blind from the age of two, was recognised by his contemporaries (including Handel) as one of the outstanding musicians of his age. The Concerto to be played this afternoon is from a set of six which were published in 1742 and have been edited by Gerald Finzi; it is in five movements.
Kenneth Leighton, who was born in 1929, has won Royal Philharmonic Society prizes for his Piano Concerto and Scherzo for Orchestra; in 1951 he was awarded the Mendelssohn Scholarship, which enabled him to study in Rome with Petrassi. This Concerto was written the following year and is in three movements: Prelude, Nocturne, and Finale (Allegro molto).
