The praise given to his concerto for the violin, which was played at the Conservatoire by Mazas, encouraged him to undertake the resetting of the old comic opera, Julie (1811).
He has recently completed an oboe concerto commissioned by the John Lewis Partnership for Nick Daniel for 10 performances in October 1998.
His recent bassoon concerto was recorded on the ASV CD of English bassoon concerti.
This concerto is as much a concerto for orchestra as it is a concerto for piano.
The concerto's dramatic slow movement shows piano and orchestra in stark opposition to each other and leads directly into the exhilarating finale.
