Rare (but wonderful) Piano Concertos
Norris's premiere recording of Lambert's First Piano Concerto is on ASV CD WHL 2122. He directed it from the keyboard with the North-West Chamber Orchestra in Seattle in May this year.
‘David Owen Norris dazzles in the teenage composer's Piano Concerto.
… does full justice to the glittering solo part (his soft tone is ravishing in its pearly opalescence). Vivid, truthfully-balanced recording …. Most enjoyable and valuable.'
Gramophone , February 2000
Norris's premiere recording of Elgar's Piano Concerto (realized Walker) is on Dutton CDLX 7148.

Gramophone May 2005
