Percy Sherwood – Suite for Two Pianos in C (first recording)
Sir Hubert Parry – Großes Duo in E minor
Percy Sherwood – Sonata for Two Pianos in C minor (first recording)
Hiroaki Takenouchi
Simon Callaghan
The two works by Sherwood presented on this disc were not published during the composer’s lifetime and are recorded here for the first time, using texts prepared and edited by Hiroaki Takenouchi from manuscripts held by the Bodleian Library.
In this video Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi, the Parnassius Piano Duo, perform the fearsome Scherzo from the Suite for Two Pianos by the little-known composer Percy Sherwood. They have just completed recording Percy Sherwood’s Suite for Two Pianos in C major, Percy Sherwood’s Sonata for Two Pianos in C minor, and Hubert Parry’s Grosses Duo in E minor, for release on the Lyrita label later in the year.
