Assembled by award-winning recitalist Simon Watterton, this original
compilation spotlights the works of an unjustly neglected composer.
Frank Bridge (1879-1941) wrote orchestral works as well as chamber
music. His students included Benjamin Britten, who championed his
teacher's music and paid tribute to him in an internationally renowned
orchestral work, Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge.
Selections include Sonata, Bridge's best-known piano work; Capriccio
Nos. 1 and 2; three miniature Pastorals; A Sea Idyll; Three Poems;
Lament; Three Sketches Suite; Four Characteristic Pieces; Fairy Tale
Suite; Three Improvisations for the Left Hand; The Hour Glass; Winter
Pastoral; and others.
