Jane Coop, piano
Recordings and live performances of Britten's Piano Concerto are indeed rare, and this one with Canada's Jane Coop is a stunner!
The inclusion of Alan Rawsthorne's Piano Concerto is brilliant, and the two shorter pieces by John Ireland (Legend) and Gerald Finzi (Eclogue) are very welcome bonuses. Mario Bernardi leads North America's only radio orchestra in these touching performances.
