Description:

The Welsh composer Massius began playing the piano at the age of three and composing music at five, earning him the nickname "child prodigy. Since beginning his career as a composer, he has written many operas and choral works, the best known of which is the hymn "Let Us Praise Thee," performed at the "Royal Wedding" in 1981, which was broadcast on television around the world and added to the festivities. In this album, you can hear his two piano concertos, recorded for the first time in the world, and Vaughan Williams' "Fantasy," also recorded for the first time.
