About

As one of Britain’s most respected and versatile musicians, Bennett has produced over two hundred works for the concert hall, and fifty scores for film and television. Studies with Boulez in the 1950s immersed him in the techniques of the European avant-garde, though he subsequently developed his own distinctive dramato-abstract style. He is an accomplished performing pianist himself and the works on the CD, played by Martin Jones, span a range of styles from the superb piano concerto to the Debussy inspired Dream Dancing, to a lovely homage on a serial theme of Sir William Walton, and an exuberant light hearted Party Piece.
