Yet more good news concerning the music of Ruth Gipps! A recording of her Clarinet Concerto (op. 9, 1940), whose world première in London last November I so thoroughly enjoyed, was released on a new disc last Friday. The record is called 'Reawakened' and is catalogue number CHRCD160 on Champs Hill Records. It features several other neglected clarinet concerti by Iain Hamilton and Richard Walthew, as well as John Ireland's Fantasy Sonata. Robert Plane is the soloist, and he is accompanied by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Martyn Brabbins.
The slow movement was broadcast this morning on BBC Radio 3's 'Record Review', and can be heard here for a month from now, about 1 hour 39 minutes into the programme. It is a beautiful rendition.
