Mark Bebbington & Rebeca Omordia - The Piano Music of Ralph Vaughan Williams (2017)

After his hop across the Atlantic for his all-Gershwin disc (MusicWeb International Recording of the Month), Mark Bebbington returns to the English fare for which he is best-known, with the Complete Vaughan Williams Piano Music. This SOMM release contains world premiere recordings, notably the Introduction and Fugue. In this work, and in the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, both written for two-pianos, Bebbington is joined by the gifted young Romanian-Nigerian pianist Rebeca Omordia.
