About

Volume 1, in a three volume series of the complete recordings, re-mastered from the original PYE recordings, of legendary mid-twentieth century pianist Richard Farrell whose life was cut short by a car accident in 1956. The recordings were made at Abbey Road studios in the UK and this volume includes the Grieg and Liszt E-flat concertos in which he was partnered by the Halle Orchestra under George Weldon.

The CD has a 20pg booklet with photographs and biographical information.

This music is wonderfully inventive, and Farrell brings out all the poetry and melancholy and humour in a performance that could hardly be bettered.” - Gramophone (April 1959) on Grieg’s Ballade
