The previous volumes of William Bland’s piano sonata cycle have met with ecstatic praise from the international press. American critic Ken Meltzer writes: “Compelling music, superbly performed. A marvelous presentation of the Romantic piano in full flight.” And from British critic Colin Clarke: “The range of expressive tools is vast. It’s grand music, with grand playing from Kevin Gorman. It is fervently to be hoped that this series continues.” The Atlanta Audio Society wrote of Vol. 2: “In the last analysis, this is one of the best new piano recordings of the year.” The brilliant 30-year old American pianist Kevin Gorman’s new recording presents premieres of two sonatas: No. 6 in c minor, Bestiary - con Amore (2001) and No. 15 in e-flat minor (2004).
