3 Serious Dances Op.51-York Bowen 

I like how Joop Celis emphases the melody in different octaves in the repeat.

the second one is breathtakingly beautiful

The waltz is gorgeous!

thank you for this discovery!

Very beautiful pieces. It feels like early Rachmaninoff with the denseness of Brahms. Perhaps that is a little bit of what makes up Bowen's style.

Charming. First time I have heard these.

lovely music, like a dream

york bowen composes beautifully :')

I wonder if York Bowen was paying homage to Brahms in these, with a certain Brahmsian feel in the first dance, a reference to Brahms Op 119 no 1 at the start of the second dance, and a feeling of Op 119 no 4 in the third dance
