Howard Blake achieved fame as pianist, conductor and composer.  In the early part of an intensely active career he wrote numerous film scores, including 'The Duellists' with Ridley Scott which gained the Special Jury Award at the Cannes Festival, 'A Month in the Country' which gained him the British Film Institute Anthony Asquith Award for musical excellence, and 'The Snowman', nominated for an Oscar after its first screening. His famous song ‘Walking in the Air’  was the chart success that launched Aled Jones in 1985, whilst the concert version for narrator and orchestra is performed world-wide and the full-length ballet for Sadler’s Wells runs for a season every year in London. Concert works include the Piano Concerto commissioned for Princess Diana, the Violin Concerto commissioned for the City of Leeds; the Clarinet Concerto commissioned by Thea King and the English Chamber Orchestra and  large-scale choral/orchestral works such as  'Benedictus' and ‘The Passion of Mary’ both recorded with the RPO. He is increasingly adding to his catalogue of CDs which includes Sir Neville Marriner conducting the woodwind concertos with The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and 'Walking in the Air' - the piano music of Howard Blake - recorded by Vladimir Ashkenazy
