Writing against the grain: late-romantic horn concertos by Malcolm Arnold, Christoph Schönberger & Ruth Gipps from Ben Goldschieder
Arnold, Schönberger, Gipps - Horn Concertos; Ben Goldscheider, Philharmonia Orchestra, Lee Reynolds; Willowhayne Records Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 24 March 2022 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) Ben Goldscheider give sparkling performances in three late-Romantic concertos, two unjustly neglected mid-Century British works and the premiere by an Anglo-German contemporary composer Recording artists seem to be eagerly uncovering a trove of mid-century British concertos that have been undeservedly forgotten or remain underappreciated.

Sprinkingly through the programme were also some theorbo solos, short pieces introduced as something of a palate cleanser and allowing us to savour Toby Carr's expressively deft talents. The concert was preceded by an engaging pre-concert talk by Jeremy Summerly on the subject of music ancient and modern ranging from the original Academy of Ancient Music to Arnold Dolmetsch.
