Sterndale Bennett Concertos out today

2 January 2026

My new album with Lyrita is out today: two concertos by William Sterndale Bennett that have never been recorded before. The Concerto in A minor was completed by Martin Yates, who also conducts the Royal Northern Sinfonia, and in the Concerto for two pianos, which Bennett wrote jointly with Alexander Macfarren, I'm joined by Hiroaki Takenouchi. We recorded it at The Glasshouse in Gateshead last January.

I'm thrilled that Presto have made it their Recording of the Week. You can read my interview with them about the project here.
