It was an absolute treat, wasn’t it @RoyalPhilSoc!? Such sublime playing from the @PiattiQuartet, performing three fantastic new works by @JosephPhibbs, @MZevGordon and Richard Blackford. Magical! ✨️

A 5-star review for ‘The Impermanence of Things’, by @MZevGordon in @MusicMagazine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Right from the initial two-note figure, through the alternately dancing and stomping scherzo, to the finale, it is utterly gripping" Full review 👇classical-music.com/reviews/michae…

I’m thrilled to announce that a new album of my piano works, ‘Diary Pieces’, will be released as a CD and on-line (Spotify etc) on @resonusclassics on 9 December. Joseph Houston plays these short, sometimes tiny, pieces wonderfully sensitively. Do hope you enjoy them.
