Piano SKU: ST.H480
Composed by Frank Bridge. Piano & keyboard music. No. 1 in A minor. No. 2 in F sharp minor. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #H480. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.H480). ISBN 9790220223846.
Timed to exploit the centenary of his best pupil, Benjamin Britten, Frank Bridge's reissued Capriccios for Piano Nos.1 and 2 of 1905 come up fresh as paint: Stainer & Bell's front cover alone - reproducing Panini's elaborate 1758 painting Capriccio of Rome - is worth long study.
No 1 sounds like Moszkowski; No 2 (a better piece) is more typical, recalling Bridge's own Rosemary and The Sea, and contains some chords silently depressed and exposed by re-pedalling.
***** Showy and effective, and most recommendable.
