Ivor Gurney’s The Five Preludes for piano date from the second half of 1919 written during a period of remarkable and unexpected creativity from the 29 year old composer and published war poet, with over 40 songs composed and 80 poems written. Gurney was taught by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1919 at the RCM. In 1922 ill health got the better of Gurney and he was sent to the City of London Mental Hospital where he remained until his death in 1937. Ralph Vaughan Williams was not renowned for his piano playing and as such wrote few works for the piano. The Lake in the Mountains was his last piano work and was composed for Phyllis Sellick in 1947. This piano version of Job A Masque for Dancing was arranged for piano by Vally Lasker, made in the summer of 1930 to support the dancers’ rehearsals for a production. The piano arrangement was considered significant enough to be published by Oxford University Press in 1931. Award winning piano accompanist, Iain Burnside makes his first full solo recording with this disc of rare repertoire. “Iain Burnside presents impressive solo credentials: the serious technical demands of the Job arrangement cause him no problems, while his flair for conjuring orchestra-like colours from the keyboard is of the very highest standard of play.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2013 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | The Bliss of SolitudeSongs & Piano Music by Vaughan Williams & Quilter
Richard Dowling (tenor), Joanna Smith (piano) This CD features songs by Vaughan Williams and Quilter, and is the premiere recording of The Bliss of Solitude by Andrew Wright. He was a member of the Tallis Scholars and has been director of music at Brentwood Cathedral for many years. Initially, Wright set a couple of Wordsworth’s texts and then worked them into a song cycle and the result is stunning. The work reflects his knowledge of the voice and love of nature. This CD was recorded in Brentwood Cathedral. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | An English Recital
“A marvellous collection of relatively unfamiliar works by diverse composers, most of whom wrote little music for piano. McCabe is an outstanding advocate, effortlessly capturing the spirit of these assorted gems.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2009 “Whereas some pianists impress through force of virtuosity, McCabe exceptionally brings the composer's insights to bear on whatever he performs. McCabe takes in his stride not only the folksy soundscapes in warlock's masterly Folksong Preludes (1918) but also the vigorous, percussive sections of Irelands brilliant Sonatina (1927) or Joubert's Dance Suite (1958). By complete contrast, he produces the best account I have heard of Britten's then-still-new Night Piece...” Gramophone Magazine, October 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
