Editorial Reviews

Albany Records, it seems, is the only company with the courage to publish British composer George Lloyd (b. 1913). Lloyd's music has been accused of being too Romantic, too sweet. He is persistently tonal and conservatively modal in all of his works, especially here. The Piano Concerto (1970) is not a virtuoso test bed; instead it's more of a luxurious Rachmaninoff-like romp, simply stated, simply executed. The works that follow are for piano solo. The Lily-Leaf and the Grasshopper (1972) has a Satie-like fragility, The Transformation of that Naked Ape (also 1972) is a more difficult piece--for the soloist, not us. Recommended. --Paul Cook

Here's an interesting concept: two CDs of great classical music excerpts combined with a nearly 250-page booklet featuring a glossary of all the major classical terms (from adagio to zarzuela), along with brief biographical notes for all the composers included. The excerpts are all generally superb, the price can't be beat, and the liner notes should be informative to any classical neophyte--not a bad introduction to classical music's greatest hits. The set might have been even more effective if the music was listed chronologically (rather than by composer's last name), but this is a minor qualm. --Edward Garabedian
