Reviews

‘Wreathed in laurels for his marathon cycle of Liszt's complete piano works, the Australian born, London based pianist Leslie Howard has come up with a typically bright idea to showcase his digital dexterity’ (The Observer)
Yuletide Pastoral was composed in response to a commission from Gramophone magazine for its Christmas number in 1997. This little piece pays a general homage to the style of a certain English composer, contains material from a very famous Christmas-inspired composition, and weaves in themes from five well-known Christmas carols.

Composée en réponse à une commande du magazine Gramophone pour son numéro de Noël 1997, la petite Yuletide Pastoral rend hommage au style d’une certain compositeur anglais, recèle un matériau emprunté à une très fameuse composition inspirée par Noël et entrelace les thèmes de cinq carols célèbres.
