An exciting new recording of Liszt’s extraordinary piano transcription of Beethoven’s most popular Pastoral Symphony performed here by one of Britain’s favourite young pianists. Performed on a historically fascinating fortepiano, one of a collection of historical keyboard instruments housed in the stunning Restoration House in Rochester, inspiration for Miss Havisham’s house in Charles Dicken’s Great Expectations. Booklet notes have been written by Ashley himself, with a forward by the redoubtable Jools Holland, a huge fan of this symphony since childhood who, in his own words “…had been waiting most of my life to experience [this]”
