About

Pianists Rebeca Omordia and Martin Jones present this album of world-premiere recordings of works for piano and orchestra by three major composers.

Joining with the BBC Concert Orchestra and award-winning conductor John Andrews, Martin Jones continues his survey of the piano works of Elisabeth Lutyens with this recording of Eos (in which he performs the piano part) and Music for Piano and Orchestra, op.59. Jones also performs Elizabeth Maconchy’s concise and striking Dialogue for Piano and Orchestra.

Rebeca Omordia performs Errollyn Wallen’s arresting new Piano Concerto, that was commissioned for her by Julian Lloyd Webber and first performed in November of 2022.

Reviews

It’s the Maconchy – essentially a concerto in four movements, each less than five minutes long – that makes the strongest immediate impression. What’s remarkable is the tautness of her invention: everything grows out of a rising figure comprising just two notes, from the stark, marmoreal opening through a perky, rhythmically tricksy second movement and a funereal third to the scampering finale. ... It might take repeated listens to the 1975 piece Eos to tune in to the idea that the music here traces the passage of the mythic personification of the sun across the sky; but its sonorities are immediately intriguing, overlapping and coalescing to make patches of texture that shift as if one is turning a kaleidoscope.  Erica Jeal
