The original tune threads its way through the choral parts while independent contrapuntal lines weave around it, culminating in a distinctive use of unison on the phrase 'He rose', highlighting the tonal shift that the music has been subtly guiding us toward.

Howells's signature contrapuntal and textural style is so idiosyncratic that in Iain Farrington's choral reimagining of King David it seems as though Howells himself could have composed it.

The next instalment of @MahanEsfahani's ongoing, widely praised, Bach series demonstrates a seemingly inexhaustible abundance of interpretative flair and meticulous scholarship as it reaches one of the landmarks of the keyboard repertoire: Book 1 of the '48' .

The bouncy tune which concludes the fourth and most famous of Hubay's 'Scènes de la csárda' is a favourite of the set, and was also used by Brahms in his 'Hungarian Dance No 21'. Here, it provides the perfect vehicle for Hagai Shaham's thrilling virtuosity. "Hey, Kati!" 👋

The first single from Ikon and conductor @DavidHConductor: Iain Farrington's choral reimagining of Howells's 'King David' (1919). Howells set to music a great number of poems by Walter de la Mare; he considered 'King David' to be one of his finest compositions.

The clip might be black and white, but the performance bursts with all the virtuosic colour one can expect of a Chopin étude, as Garrick Ohlsson takes to the keys after winning the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition. Bravo! 💐
