About

Three pianist-composers from the first half of the last century form the programme for Joseph Moog’s new album. For this recording he is partnered by pianist Kai Adomeit in three works for two pianos – Rachmaninov’s late Symphonic Dances from 1940, York Bowen’s Theme and Variations from 1951, and Rachmaninov’s friend and compatriot Medtner’s Two Pieces. York Bowen had many Rachmaninov works in his extensive concert repertoire, and he became known without much justification as ‘The English Rachmaninov’. However strange that may sound, he like the two Russians on this recording represents (with Prokofiev) the last of the great pianist composers of the 20th century.
