Album Cover
Malcolm Arnold, Phillip Dyson, Kevin Sargent, Ulster Orchestra, Esa Heikkilä
Concerto For Two Pianos (Three Hands) / Concerto For Piano Duet

Album 2007 on Naxos label
Classical (Modern)

Composed in 1951 during a period of almost frenzied activity, the Concerto for Two Pianos (Three Hands) and Orchestra was written for the legendary three handed husband and wife team of Phyillis Sellick and Cyril Smith. Unashamedly popular in style, the Concerto contrasts dark tragedy with meltingly romantic melodies and closes with a brilliantly witty and uplifting rumba. Recorded in the Ulster Hall on January 18th. (Track 2) and March 15th. 2007. A co-production with BBC Northern Ireland.
