A Celebration of Paul Reade

Paul Reade died 25 years ago. He is remembered for his delightful Victorian Kitchen Garden music (Ivor Novello Award) and television themes such as Antiques Roadshow. However, he also wrote a huge range of equally wonderful but less well-known pieces, full of melodic invention, wit and fabulous energy. For some time, his widow, flautist Philippa Davies, has had the vision of recording a selection of these magical pieces. They are previously unpublished and unrecorded works that deserve to be heard. We want to celebrate his music with this premier recording which will be issued in time for what would have been Paul's 80th birthday, early 2023.
