Digital Booklet
|
“Joop Celis’s second volume in his cycle of York Bowen’s piano music is as triumphant as his first… not a single piece on this excellently recorded disc could be in more sensitive hands. Joop Celis confirms his stature at every point, and Vol 3 of his Bowen pilgrimage is hopefully already on the horizon.”
- Gramophone
“Celis deserves the highest praise for his powerful advocacy of this passionate and appealing music, heard here in warmly-recorded sound. Highly recommended.”
- Classic FM Magazine
“[Celis] is clearly entirely at home with Bowen the miniaturist… the sound of the piano is superlative, even and smooth in a natural acoustic.”
- International Record Review
“Dutch pianist Joop Celis displays impeccable technique in Bowen’s demanding scores. He is clearly an excellent musician. Chandos offers clear, vibrant sound. A lot of dedicated work and effort has gone into this recording.”
- American Record Guide
A devoted advocate of York Bowen’s piano works, Dutch pianist Joop Celis here performs the English composer’s Piano Sonata No. 5 in F Minor, Op. 72, 4 Bagatelles, Op. 147, and Siciliano and Toccatina, Op. 128, among other pieces. Sometimes called the “English Rachmaninov”, Bowen’s compositions are highly virtuosic and Celis performs them with verve and warmth.
