Bowen:
24 Preludes
Reverie op. 86
Zazra
Nocturne from Miniature Suite op. 14

Posterity likes to play with labels that are supposed to characterize lesser-known composers: ?The Catholic Bach? (Zelenka), ?The Spanish Mozart? (Arriaga) - and ?The English Rachmaninoff?, with which the English pianist and composer York Bowen (1884-1961) was labeled. Nuron Mukumi presents his 24 Preludes Op.102 on PROSPERO. Indeed, one is immediately fascinated by this music, which is anything but a Rachmaninoff copy, but rather cultivates a style all of its own. And one wonders: how could these works be so easily forgotten?
