Rebeca Omordia reviews

As a CD title, The Piano Music of Ralph Vaughan Williams isn’t as unbelievable, say, as The Concert Overtures of Olivier Messiaen, but considering the small quantity in the composer’s output it still takes one by surprise. So does some of the music, especially the Introduction and Fugue for two pianos (in its first recording). Part Bach homage, part possible musing on the clamours of war, this neglected milestone from 1947 is given a fiery account by Mark Bebbington and Rebecca Omordia.
