About
Ferdinand Ries may once have been celebrated as ‘one of the finest piano-performers of the present day’ (the 1820s), but he is now remembered chiefly for his association with Beethoven. Yet the music here is never slavishly imitative: Piers Lane makes a persuasive case for rescuing these works from the pages of musical history.

Awards and reviews
August 2018
[No. 8’s] main point of interest is its slow movement – a serene piece of Romantic ardour, played with admirable poetic warmth by Piers Lane…[in No. 9] Lane manages the seemingly endless cascades of notes with commendable elegance, while the orchestral contribution under Leon Botstein is efficient if a touch routine.
