Within a decade of settling in London he had established a reputation as one of the most gifted and prolific composers of his generation. His stature as a leading figure within the British music scene was publicly acknowledged in 1975 when he was appointed to the esteemed post of Master of the Queen’s Music in succession to Sir Arthur Bliss. But today he is almost forgotten and his music virtually never performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis double-album set of the complete Piano Concertos is therefore an important document as well as a compendium of deeply appealing music.
