Alan was a complete musician – a composer,performer, teacher, and a person of extraordinarynatural musicality. Small wonder then that he wasviewed with profound respect by all those within themusical profession who were privileged to come intocontact with him ... As a pianist one was struck by hisinnate rhythmic verve, a facet which indeed radiatedthrough all his compositions – but perhaps the qualityabove all else that will be remembered was that whichcan best be described as a mezzo voce bel canto, therealisation of a choice and refined ear, and the productof a deep thinker and inner tranquillity’. It is thatsatisfying synergy of elegant lyricism and rhythmicenergy which distinguishes the keyboard works ofpianist and composer Alan Richardson. [Paul Conway]The Sonata for two pianos was not published duringthe composer’s life. Nimbus Music Publishing isgrateful to the Richardson Estate for permission tomake it available in this edition.
