HYPERION RECORDING: ROMANTIC PIANO CONCERTO SERIES Jonathan’s third Romantic Piano Concerto CD for Hyperion Records will be recorded at the end of June in Glasgow. Featuring concertos by Polish composers Wladyslaw Zelenski and Aleksander Zarzycki Jonathan will perform with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Polish conductor Lukasz Borowitz. As the recording date approaches, Jonathan has been getting to grips with these new works - “These concertos are typical of the Romantic genre, and a joy to play, the Zelenski in particular is probably one of the finest concertos I have been fortunate enough to perform.” Jonathan has worked with Lukasz before with the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, a collaboration both enjoyed enormously. Plans are also afoot to release the live recording of that particular concert on the Hyperion label – so watch this space. “this Hyperion release is simply stunning” International Record Review: Melcer Piano Concertos “breathtaking virtuosity” BBC Music Magazine: Stojowski Piano Concertos AUSTRALIAN FESTIVAL OF CHAMBER MUSIC 27th July to 04 August, 2012 Jonathan will make his debut concert appearance in Australia this summer when he travels to Townsville to take part in this internationally recognised Chamber Music Festival celebrating its 22nd season.
