Michael Brough: 25 Picture-Preludes for Piano, Op. 19
Late in 2013 the English pianist, organist and composer (and solicitor) Michael Brough, born in Yorkshire in 1960, sat down at his piano and began to improvise the first of what would become 25 Picture-Preludes, in the major and minor keys. Like Rachmaninov’s Études-Tableaux and Medtner’s Skazki, these short pieces are intended to stimulate a response in the listener’s imagination – and Rachmaninov and Medtner are audible influences on Brough’s bluesy, late-Romantic musical language.
