Concerto for Two Pianos (3 Hands) - (3 Hands) (Score)

Commissioned for the 1969 BBC Proms, this vibrant concerto was written for the husband and wife team of Phyllis Sellick and Cyril Smith. Unashamedly popular and direct in style, this concise 13-minute work contrasts dark tragedy with melting romantic melodies, closing with a brilliantly witty and uplifting rumba.

'The Concerto showed how this composer's best music is a poignant mix of humour and darkness, often realised with inventive orchestration...'
