| | Welcome to the John Ogdon Foundation |
| | Ogdon was equally at home with the classics and modern repertoire but he was perhaps most renowned for championing the music of 20th Century British composers. | | | Ogdon leaves an invaluable legacy of recordings made over a span of 30 years. | | | Boris Berezovsky has performed recently in support of the Foundation fulfilling the aims "to encourage young musicians to continue the traditions of romantic piano and contemporary music". |

| | On An Overgrown Path: The real 'Piano Man' |
| | John Ogdonâs appetite for new music was insatiable. | | | He went on to record the Sorabji, a recording that is still in the catalogue. | | | And I will conclude by quoting his wife's Afterword which is as relevant to the Piano Man in 2005 as it was to John Ogdon twenty-four years ago. |

| | The chamber-music recordings were planned 15 years ago by an EMI producer, Simon Foster, who decided that Ogdon should play the piano, partnered on cello by Stephen Isserlis and on the violin by Nigel Kennedy, whose mother is a friend of Smith's. | | | The aim was to release the disc for the 1988 centenary of Alkan's solitary death, crushed beneath a bookcase from which he had been trying to extract a volume of the Talmud. | | | Smith, almost blind, sat down and memorised the piano part; he was joined by the cellist Moray Welsh and James Clark, concertmaster of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. |

| | It's by no means clear how the `serious listeners' Sorabji requested are in fact meant to listen to such a work; and if the idea is that they should follow it with rapt attention (score reading certainly helps), it is equally unclear whether the music finally justifies the demand. | | | Altarus already have a long list of fine piano recordings to their name; sheerly as a vivid and natural rendering of piano tone this is probably the best, though the instrument itself occasionally (eg. | | | The sheer quality of mastery is probably more readily apparent in the Fantasia Contrappuntistica, since OC by its very nature imposes different, unfamiliar standards of competence and communicability; yet perhaps more than any of Ogdon's other achievements in the recorded repertoire, these extraordinary discs of Busoni and Sorabji constitute his most fitting monument. |

| | John Ogdon |
| | In contrast to my other musical heroes John Ogdon was a classical musician, a concert pianist. | | | But I come back to Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto time and time again - one of the most beautiful pieces of the Romantic Era...and it's always John's recording. | | | I listen to very little classical music nowadays - maybe the odd bit of Mahler or Wagner, some Mozart and a few visits to the opera excepted. |

| | John Ogdon responds to this music of the 50s with understanding, imagination and the expected virtuosity, the advocate who completes our pleasure. | | | Engineer Ralph Couzens has cer- tainly managed to overcome some of the quirks of that fine, if sometimes over-warm and over-reverberant acoustic, and the result is a piano sound that is rich-toned, weighty, sparklingly detailed and yet well-proportioned. | | | I find myself in complete agreement with PH's enthus- iasm in his review of the black disc in November's HFNIRR (pl 15) for the Fantasy- Waltzes and the demanding Preludes of 1959. |

| | Ogdon is unashamedly grandiloquent where so bidden, and makes nonsense of any rumour that Elgar failed to understand the piano, even if he did not like it [listen -- CD2 track 8, 3:56-4:55]. | | | The piano music has a charming trifle in the Serenade and a piece of rather ponderous virtuosity in the Concert Allegro that might well have made more sense if moulded ultimately towards a concerto. | | | The slow movement will always make its rueful point between a pair of movements that should have been banished to the nearest Lyons Corner House [listen -- CD2 track 2, 0:00-1:19]. |

| | We are very proud to announce the long-awaited reissue of one of Ogdon's most important recordings, showcasing three of Busoni's finest solo piano works. | | | The pianist John Ogdon, who played and recorded the work in the 1980's, [this legendary recording has now been reissued - Altarus AIR-CD-9075] said that when he got to the end of the piece, he would have liked to start all over again. | | | The Fantasia contrappuntistica is a different performance (recorded on a separate occasion) from the one on AIR-CD-9070(2), and this disc is especially noteworthy for Ogdon's haunted, demonic and deeply worrying performance of the Toccata, which relates it more closely to the Mephistophelian element of Busoni's Doktor Faust than anyone else has ever attempted. |

| | Ogdon's straightforward reading falls short of the breadth and lyric poetry that make the Richter and Arrau recordings more memorable. | | | Some collectors may remember an out-of-print BBC Radio Classics Ogdon/Liszt release that unearthed a ragged, heavy-handed 1983 broadcast of the First Concerto. | | | The pianist takes a while to get going in Mephisto Waltz No. 1, but he hits his expressive stride in the middle section and takes enormous chances in the work's final four minutes--altogether a less polished but more exciting alternative to Ogdon's 1962 EMI studio recording. |
