Jack Brymer’s work is well represented on record as an outstanding orchestral player and concerto soloist. He also made appearances directing The London Wind Soloists on the Decca label in the 1960s, notably in the five LP set of Mozart Complete Wind Music (1963). But of his recital work with piano there is very little apart from a Discourses LP release, and the Nimbus album recorded in October 1973 and released in 1979. This recital contained two cornerstones of Brymer’s repertoire, one or both of them invariably included in virtually every concert he gave, Weber’s ‘Grand Duo Concertant’ and Brahms’ F minor Sonata. The LP remained in the catalogue until Nimbus closed its LP manufacturing in the early 1980s. The present issue is the first reissue in any format. The session notes show an entirely trouble-free couple of days. They include ideas for further projects, listing music by Schubert, Brahms, Poulenc and Hindemith, but no return visits occurred at this time. David and Jack had a very close musical bond though they were complete opposites, Jack calm and urbane, David, always a nervous performer, often on the edge of hysteria. But it worked. I believe their collaboration began in the late 1960s. The first recital notice I have found being for a Lecture Recital ‘My Life with the Clarinet’ at the Benn Memorial Hall, Rugby Saturday 15 March 1969. They worked together for the remainder of Jack’s concert life.
