SAXTON ‘Piano Music’ CD voted one of 2018’s best by Sunday Times

12 December 2018

UYMP is delighted that Robert Saxton’s ‘Piano Music’ Toccata Classics CD has been voted one of the best classical music albums of 2018 by the Sunday Times (9.12.18), in the contemporary music section!  We offer very many congratulations to Robert, to pianist Clare Hammond and to Toccata Classics. 

Reviewers David Cairns, Hugh Canning and Paul Drive wrote: ‘These Hortus Musicae, Books 1 and 2, are “musical gardens” that take literary inspiration from Marvell, Auden, Song of Solomon and even Proust.’  Other works on the CD are Chacony for Piano Left Hand (1988), Sonata for Piano (1981) and Lullaby for Rosa (2016).  Here is UYMP’s news on the great reviews of this CD which have appeared in Gramophone, The Sunday Times, BBC Music Magazine, Planet Hugill, the British Music Society, Europadisc and The Art Music Lounge.: https://www.uymp.co.uk/news/fantastic-reviews-for-robert-saxtons-toccata-classics-cd-of-piano-music  .
