Coleridge-Taylor Violin Concerto
Posted by: mharttpalmer on 10 May 2006
Some of you out there may know of this unjustly neglected work - it was performed at the Proms last year and has been recorded twice - once by Philippe Graffin on Avie, the other by Anthony Marwood on Hyperion.
This work has quite an interesting history - the original orchestral parts were shipped over to the US on the Titanic! Fortunately the composer just happened to have another set of parts...
I shall be performing the solo part at the Chichester Festivities this year (on 4th July), so if there's anyone in the sunny south who's interested, the work is well worth a listen, especially considering that live performances of this piece are rare at the moment!

Mark
