(first broadcast performance)
Two Concert Studies
It was for Colin Horsley that Lennox Berkeley composed his Piano Concerto, first played at a Promenade Concert in August 1948. One of the works in tonight's recital, the Scherzo, was also specially written for Colin Horsley , for him to play during his forthcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand. He introduced it at a recital in London a few. weeks ago. The six Preludes, which have a singular deftness and charm, date from 1945. The three Mazurkas, though characteristic of their composer, owe their origin to his affection for the music of Chopin; they were brought forward at a concert organised by Unesco in Paris last October to commemorate the centenary of Chopin's death. The two Concert Studies belong to a set of four written in 1939 and designed to make full use of the resources of the modern piano. Harold Rutland
