The late Romanticism of Roger Sacheverell Coke will appeal to anyone who enjoys Rachmaninov or Delius, Grainger or Scriabin. If that sounds an intriguingly eclectic mix, Coke establishes his own distinctive voice, and this is an important addition to the Romantic Piano Concerto series.
'Hats off to Simon Callaghan … he throws himself into the [fourth] concerto's physically taxing, Scriabinesque sound world with passion, total commitment and, it seems, heartfelt affection. Martyn Brabbins and the Scottish players (with a special tip to the hard-working cymbal player) provide their customary sterling support' (Gramophone)
'I've nothing but praise for the performances. Simon Callaghan['s] … impressive pianism is wholeheartedly supported by Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, all hearts on sleeves' (BBC Record Review)
'Simon Callaghan's commitment to Coke's cause is to be lauded. As with all the recordings I've heard from the Hyperion stable, the sound quality is exemplary. Martyn Brabbins' inspirational direction draws the very best from the orchestral players' (MusicWeb International)
