Isata Kanneh-Mason - Childhood Tales
Isata Kanneh-Mason (piano), Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Domingo Hindoyan
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 13 August 2023
Isata Kanneh-Mason evokes the magic of childhood in this charming collection - nostalgic music written for grown-ups, about childhood.
"At its centre sits Ernő Dohnányi's Variations on a Nursery Song, a concertante piece that u se s ' Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' as its theme. Domingo Hindoyan, Kanneh-Mason and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra bring out the humour of this evocative and charming piece, reminding us why the 1914 work was once so popular." BBC
"It makes for a delightful programme that will appeal to those of riper years as much as it will to children...It is so good to see someone of Isata Kanneh-Mason's generation championing this once-popular work [Dohnányi's Variations], now puzzlingly neglected. And this account is right up there with the best." Gramophone
