Ballerina. 5 out of 5 star review: ‘A Beautiful Concerto for Princess Diana Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2015This is another set of masterworks from Howard Blake. The piano concerto, written in 1991 for the birthday of Princess Diana is a perfect tribute to a woman who is beautiful inside and out. It reminds me of (but is not the same as) Ravel’s G major Piano Concerto, written 60 years earlier in 1931. The slow movement is particularly beautiful.’
