We are delighted to announce the launch of a new recording of Anthony Burgess’s piano music.
Performed by Richard Casey and produced by Steve Plews for the Prima Facie label, the album contains a range of the music by the novelist Anthony Burgess during his long parallel career as a prolific composer. Much of it has never been heard before, and none has previously been available on record.
On Thursday 10th December at 7pm, we present an intimate live performance by pianist Richard Casey, who will perform pieces from the album on Burgess’ own grand piano at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. Tickets for the concert are on sale now, priced just £5. There will be a complimentary mulled wine reception on arrival.

Steve Plews is a prolific producer and recently recorded the award winning double CD, The Complete Piano Works of Peter Maxwell Davies. He runs the studio and label ASC Records, which exists to promote artists in contemporary classical and jazz, and Prima Facie Records, which specialises in premiere recordings by British composers.
