The Resonus Classics recording of Works for Piano and Orchestra by Elizabeth Maconchy, Elisabeth Lutyens and Errollyn Wallen has won the Premiere category in the 2024 BBC Music Magazine Awards. John Andrews was the conductor and Martin Jones the soloist in the works by Maconchy and Lutyens. Errollyn Wallen’s Piano Concerto was performed by Rebeca Omordia.
Fiona Maddocks found this album “engaging, serious, stimulating.” The third and final disc of Martin Jones’s survey of Elisabeth Lutyens piano music has now been released. Featuring works from across the span of Lutyens’s career, the earliest works to be included are the short pieces Overture, Berceuse, Barcarolle and Dance Souvenance from 1944, the unpublished Holiday Diary from 1949, Helix from 1967, and Three Books of Bagatelles from 1979 complete.
John Andrews’s recording of John Frederick Lampe’s ballad opera The Dragon of Wantley for Resonus Classics has won the BBC Music Magazine Opera Award 2023. This is the second time in two years that John Andrews and Resonus Classics has won this award. The 2021 winner was their recording of Malcolm Arnold’s The Dancing Master.
