The most encouraging response came from Chandos with the good news that they were hoping to issue a disc of Dyson s work, that the Violin Concerto would be considered for inclusion and that the Dyson family were very keen to record another disc in the autumn (of 1993).
However in a subsequent telephone conversation with him he told her that he had written to Chandos about the Violin Concerto and in March 1994 she was told by Chandos that a recording of it was scheduled for November that year.
We must be thankful to Chandos for their commitment to the Dyson cause, and pray that it does not waver, for there is still much to be done.

 Sleeve Notes - Dyson: Hierusalem
Dyson was a composer of a wider range than that embraced by his musical portrait-gallery after Chaucer, The Canterbury Pilgrims, the work by which he’s chiefly remembered.
Dyson learnt much from Parry about constructing broad and sonorous choral climaxes.) The setting of George Gascoigne’s ‘Lauds’ is one of Dyson’s loveliest, masterly in its encompassing, within a sustained mood of calm, of the progress from night-in-sleep to the encroaching brightness of sunrise.
Although Dyson’s career started in the organ-loft when he was a boy, only in the last decade of his life did he start to compose for the organ; in this he curiously resembles Parry.

Dyson follows Chaucer's scheme, with a series of portraits framed by a Prologue and Envoi, and ends with a brilliant coup de theatre, as the Knight begins the first tale while moving slowly offstage, fading out at the Envoi's close.

 Dean's Den: Fugues and Fugue Sets
Composers who write sets of fugues, like Bach and Hindemith, seem to take the form more seriously than composers who write fugues only to prove they can.
So this is not an encyclopaedic survey of everything the composer knows about the piano, nor a freak show of elephantine giganticism; it is just a very, very large set of small pieces any and all of which are well worth hearing for their own sake, such is the compelling nature of Bentzon's vision.
While sketching the cycle, the composer decided to base it on his own so-called 'Series 1': the twelve semitones are related to a central keynote according their place in the harmonic series.
