About

This is a re-mastered release, part of a Stephen Dodgson re-issue cycle where recordings were made with the composer as producer.

‘Soon after leaving the Royal College of Music in 1949, I had written an ambitious Piano Quartet – I was quite proud of it for some years – but wrote nothing else in the genre until a Piano Quintet in 1966. This was to a commission. So also, the very next year, was my first Piano Trio. This was premiered at the Conway Hall as part of a “Music in our Time Festival”, an audacious forum for (mainly) young composers and performers, brainchild of the pianist Ian Lake, which enlivened the periphery of the London scene over a succession of autumn seasons. I was a happy participant on at least four occasions, two of which have gone on echoing down the years. One was an entertainment called The Old Cigarette-Lighter, the other precursor to undreamed later ventures in trio writing, all of which bear traces of a carefree approach to composition which, thankfully, has never quite deserted me.’ – Stephen Dodgson
