Hyperion CD |
Chisholm Piano Concerto No.1 Piobaireachd & no. 2 Hindustani with pianist Danny Driver, and the BBC SSO conducted by Rory Macdonald was released in March 2012. It got off to a great Start with selection for Gramophone Top 20, 4 stars from Ken Walton in the Scotsman, and IRR's 'Outstanding Award. Norman Lebrecht in his CD of the Week said "Chisholm warrants at least one hearing at the BBC Proms"...We would second that! Many more excellent reviews have followed including a superb review from Charlotte Gardiner of the BBC 2012-04-30. See Recordings [/url}

A Notable Glaswegian |
Glasgow recently became a UNESCO City of Music and, along with many others, Chisholm is a named Notable Citizen. For ten years prior to WW2, he was a major figure in Scotland's Music. It would be great if this recognition leads to a public performance in Glasgow City Halls of music by this notable Glaswegian. May we suggest a song recital?
|
| After the war he was appointed to the Chair of Music at Cape Town University. He returned to Scotland several times, giving a variety of concerts including song recitals from Celtic Folk Songs his collection of 49 songs, published at the suggestion of Shostakovich by the USSR State Publishers. |

Radio Broadcast |
To date there have been few radio broadcasts of Chisholm's CD's on UK radio. In Cape Town, on the other hand, Chisholm's second daughter Sheila and others, have for years regularly broadcast Chisholm's music on 'Fine Music Radio'.
|
| We are pleased to report that the Hyperion CD featured on UK radio soon after release. Firstly Andrew McGregor in his CD Review of the Week, BBC Radio 3, commented on the fine job of pianist Danny Driver, adding the Chisholm's Hindustani was utterly convincing with a colourful voice of its own. In Afternoon on 3 with Penny Gore she delighted us by including The Piobaireachd Concerto among more Romantic Piano Concertos |
