...with more to come as this is vol.1.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Very nice.

[Alan Howe]

That's what I thought too!

The First is definitely in my top 20  piano concertos. Especially when played with panache.

A must-buy for me. There's still a fair amount of MacDowell (keyboard-wise) awaiting a first recording, so I hope there are many volumes to come.

[Alan Howe]

I'm guessing this will be a John Wilson/Orchestral series, with vol.2 featuring PC2.

MacDowell's orchestral output:

Op. 15 Piano Concerto No. 1 (1885)
Op. 22 Hamlet and Ophelia (1885)
Op. 23 Piano Concerto No. 2 (1890)
Op. 25 Lancelot and Elaine (1888)
Op. 29 Lamia (1908)
Op. 30 Two Fragments after the Song of Roland (1891) I. The Saracens - II. The Lovely Alda

Op. 42 First Suite (1891–1893) I. In a Haunted Forest - II. Summer Idyl - III. In October - IV. The Shepherdess' Song - V. Forest Spirits
