[A Tribute to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; Live-A-Music / Ensemble Liverpool (2001)]

On Nov. 1, 2007, AfriClassical posted: “Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Piano Quintet & Clarinet Quintet on Hyperion.” Hilary Burrage has left a new comment today:

“You may be interested to know that the first modern day public, recorded performance of the SC-T Piano Quintet was on 7 November 2001, by the ensemble (Live-A-Music / Ensemble Liverpool) whose Director, Martin Anthony Burrage, realised the part scores from a copy of the original full score lodged in the Library of the Royal College of Music. More details of this performance and related events are available here:

Perhaps it is also of interest to mention that more recently the Samuel Coleridge Taylor Foundation CIC has been registered, to support the promotion, performance and appreciation of the composer's music:

We have learned new information from http://www.samuelcoleridgetaylor.org/, but the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor page at AfriClassical.com has long included a brief reference to the Live-A-Music CD: “Live-A-Music is a chamber music ensemble comprised of five members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The group released a limited-edition CD in 2001. The program consists of Coleridge-Taylor's Fantasiestucke for String Quartet, Op. 5, and his Quintet for Piano and Strings, Op. 1.”
