DAVID PYATT HORN LEON MCCAWLEY PIANO Poulenc composed his Elégie for horn and piano in 1957 in memory of Dennis Brain, a peerless horn player. 50 years after his death impressive young musicans David Pyatt and Leon McCawley perform a programme in tribute including works by Beethoven, Richard Strauss, Poulenc, Hindemith, Glière and Dukas. ‘Few horn players produce such a luscious sound as David Pyatt.’ THE GRAMOPHONE ‘Leon McCawley is a pianist for whom the word “eloquent” could have been coined, combining as he does a wonderful sense of style with a discreetly telling manner of musical interpretation.’ THE DAILY TELEGRAPH Photo: Nina Large
