Bowen 4th piano concerto & Sorabji

[thalbergmad]

Indeed it appears that Sorabji thought Bowens 4th Piano Concerto was the greatest written by an Englishman and i think it just shades it.

If you have not heard this work and you like late romanticism, then do it NOW.

He did indeed - although he said the same of the piano concerto by Alan Bush! Bowen is thankfully far better known today than waqs once the case; I'm sure that Sorabji would have been delighted at the recognition afforded to him.

Seconding this. I have not listened to it in a while, but I remember enjoying it. I will have to give it another listen.
