A wonderful work by a great, but often overlooked British composer. His works for solo piano are truly superb. I have many recordings by Kathryn Stott who has done so much to promote British music as did Tod Handley of course.
Splendid composition by Ireland in a top-class performance. The conjoined second and third movements are, for me at least, a highlight of British music.
@philipedsch -- It's a fine enhancement...meticulous, erudite but never pretentious....one only admires his long, looping stops and starts and carefully considered multipoint turns, like a man trying to parallel park his consciousness into an impossible spot.....Professor Max, I salute you...and also those 3 beaches north of Miavaig......
This is an absolutely marvelous performance!! Thanks for the post.
