This is Vol. 1 of a planned cycle of all the piano music by John Ireland. 1879 was an auspicious
year for English music. It saw the births of Frank Bridge and Cyril Scott as well as John Ireland.
Having scored huge critical acclaim and public acclamation for his recent recordings of music by
Bax, Lambert and Elgar, pianist Mark Bebbington is nothing less than spectacular in these
stunning piano pieces. A very welcome release from Somm. Not to be missed! “Bebbington’s approach fulfils with prescient fluidity the composer’s textural ambitions, yet resists tossing off
the flourishes with undue slickness or abandoning the chaste lyrical imperative that, as with all Ireland’s
music, binds together the considerable pianistic accoutrements…. The continuing wave of enthusiasm for John
Ireland’s music is certainly to be warmly embraced and I look forward with eagerness to Mark Bebbington’s
second instalment.” International Record Review, June 2008 |
