Arnold Bax (8 November 1883 – 3 October 1953) was an English composer, poet, and author. His prolific output includes songs, choral music, chamber pieces, and solo piano works, but he is best known for his orchestral music. In addition to a series of symphonic poems he wrote seven symphonies and was for a time widely regarded as the leading British symphonist. In his last years Bax found his music regarded as old-fashioned, and after his death it was generally neglected. From the 1960s onwards, mainly through a growing number of commercial recordings, his music was gradually rediscovered.

Eric Parkin (born 1924 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire) is an English pianist. Parkin studied at Trinity College of Music in London. His teachers were the distinguished Anglo-French pianist Frank Laffitte and Professor George Oldroyd. A Prom debut with Malcolm Sargent and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in J. Ireland's Piano Concerto brought him before a wider audience. Over the years he has appeared with many of the leading British orchestras, building a repertoire of over 70 works, ranging from J.S. Bach through the Classical and Romantic repertoire to much 20th century repertoire. Parkin has recorded many albums for Chandos.
