Description
Piers Lane brings all his pianistic panache to this splendidly eclectic recital of works from the 1700s to 2019, in a programme exploring very different aspects of the dance.
Gramophone Editor's Choice July 2023
"You can easily imagine the audience's indulgent end-of-recital smiles over Das Butterbrot (Litolff possibly, probably not Mozart). […] commending this return visit with enthusiasm" – Gramophone
"This return visit to a fascinating area of repertoire by a pianist, Piers Lane, who clearly love and excels in it, gets an enthusiastic recommendation from our reviewer Jeremy Nicholas." – Gramophone Recordings of the Year / Editor's Choice July 2023
"This is a wonderful follow-up to Lane's previous Goes to Town album. Younger pianists should take note; a judiciously curated disc of encore-style music such as this offers a joyful listening experience that will likely prove more lasting than yet another Beethoven cycle or Liszt sonata." - MusicWeb International
Piers Lane goes to town: CDA67967
'This superbly recorded disc (played on a gorgeously voiced Steinway) is Lane's love letter to the piano. I wish more pianists would share their guilty pleasures like this' (Gramophone)
'Lane in wonderful, debonair mode here, sparkling through a personal encore selection from Jamaican Rumba to a Toccata by his own father, and from Myra Hess to Dudley Moore' (BBC Music Magazine)
