Nuron Mukumi York Bowen 24 Preludes EPK01

To this day, it remains a mystery as to why the English composer and pianist
York Bowen has largely fallen into obscurity, and his music is unknown even
to experts today – even though Camille Saint-Saëns considered Bowen
to be the “best English composer”...
Pianist Nuron Mukumi was immediately fascinated by Bowen’s 24 Preludes
, published in 1950 – each prelude has its own character and style,
as if they had been written by another composer of the late Romantic
period – and yet at the same time they are unified under a distinctive
personal idiom that unmistakably marks the preludes as Bowen’s compositions.
