| Detail has been lavished on the book’s presentation. The cover design is appropriately from Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Two young Scottish pianists have recently been playing Bax: Joseph Long and Jeremy Limb, who is a family descendant of Bax. Names to remember. So, after moribund years, Bax is reconsidered. It may herald a renaissance that can only enrich what sometimes seems the recent dry period in British piano music. | ||
