12 December 2018
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 .
