Description
John Ireland is widely regarded as one of the greatest British composers of the twentieth century, his contribution to the piano solo repertoire is of great significance. This album, performed by award-winning pianist Rebeca Omordia, is an exploration of John Ireland's piano music composed over a period of almost forty years, his distinctly English yet individualistic musical style is reflected in works bearing evocative titles that reveal Ireland's deep connection to landscapes and literature, creating a unique sound world. The release includes Decorations, published in 1915, as the earliest pieces, the substantial Piano Sonata in E minor (1920), described by Lisa Hardy in her book as 'the outstanding example of all British piano sonatas'; the large scale Sarnia: An Island Sequence (1940-41) and Columbine, the last piano piece he wrote from 1951.
