Richard Bonynge &

Simon Tedeschi

The piano concertos of Tchaikovsky and Grieg are two of the most well known pieces in the Romantic piano repertoire. This very special performance by young Australian pianist Simon Tedeschi and conducted by elder statesman of the baton, Richard Bonynge explores the emotional atmosphere, frankness and force of these landmark works. 

Ian Cooper - Quintet

Primarily featuring jazz-based repertoire, the disc showcases the best of both their genres - classical and jazz. The Baroque chorale introduction to ‘All The Things You Are’ is inspired by the unsurpassed musical language of Bach. Ian’s specialty - gypsy jazz - is pushed to the fore with ‘Tchavolo Swing’ and the musicians pay homage to jazz greats in such pieces as ‘Round Midnight’ and ‘Body and Soul’.  

Ian Cooper

A live performance - featuring Simon playing the amazing Stuart Pianos - by these two virtuosos, featuring Gypsy, Dixieland, Classical, Jazz, Traditional and pretty much everything else in between.

"Putting Tedeschi and Cooper is like mixing nitro with glycerine, an explosion of musical virtuosity!" - James Morrison.
