Kris Lennox: Dedication

Kris Lennox is a young British pianist and composer who is already making a name for himself with concerts in Monaco and Japan, as well as other locations. His music on this recording, unlike his more recent experimental work, is unashamedly tonal and lyrical, programmatic – even expressionistic – but yet is not old fashioned but in line with the current popularity of “post-modern”, approachable classical music – a style which stretches back, in British music, through Bath, Wood, and Addinsell to composers such as Ketelbey. But Lennox has very much his own voice, and his music reflects places and events in his experience, “photographed” in music.
