Bowen - Toccata

Not necessarily my best performance of this work, but the only one I have a recording of. The acoustics are a bit muddy, but you'll get the gist of it.

ctrastevere, a bright and colorful piece indeed! Your playing was well done. I am relearning a Toccata by Debussy. Continue enjoying your pieces and playing the piano. Thank you for sharing your recording.
best wishes,

Hi ctrastevere,
I like the music of York Bowen a lot, although it still seems to be far better known in the UK than here in the U.S. It's also very difficult trying to find his sheet music here unfortunately.
Anyway, I believe you played this Toccata, Op. 155 very well indeed. You brought a virtuosic technique and much expressive flair to the piece, making it a very exciting listening experience. Bravo!

I've always found Bowen to be a middle of the line composer but your performance if this work was quite professional.
