RHAPSODY IN BLUE - original 1927 solo piano version o AN AMERICAN IN PARIS ~ 1929 William Daly Tr o THREE PIANO PRELUDES o THE MAN I LOVE o SWANEE o DO IT AGAIN o SOMEBODY LOVES ME o CLAP YO' HANDS o MY ONE AND ONLY o

A compilation of highly evocative Mazurkas, Preludes, Barcarolles, and characteristic pieces (Musical Snuffbox, Of Olden Times, etc.) by this minor Russian master working in a fragrant, impressionistic style. Most of this music appears for the first time on CD. "A sterling new collection played to perfection. It should move near the top of current piano releases." - InTune.

For everyone who has ever taken piano lessons! "America's first lady of the piano" presents a collection of pieces well known to both students and casual listeners. Includes favorites by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Prokofiev. "One of the most charming piano records I have heard in a long time." - Washington Post.

Further favorites exploring the pianistic world available to talented young pianists and their more mature family members. Selections include Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Mozart's Turkish March, Debussy's Sarabande and others by Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Khachaturian. Each piece is a jewel - and a challenge.

A landmark traversal of the solo music for piano by the leader of the Russian "Mighty Handful." In turns surpassingly difficult, supremely beautiful and amazingly colorful, this oeuvre, composed over a period of nearly fifty years, represents a major musical - and pianistic - achievement. Organized in three 2-CD "Brilliant Box" sets and specially priced.

Most of the piano works of McCunn (whose operas are being rediscovered), McEwen, and Mackenzie, who is acknowledged to be one of Elgar's main influences, are on this disc, all for the first time. Pieces ranging in mood from Chopin to Debussy via Liszt, and all with an unmistakeable Scottish lilt.

MacCunn: Six Scotch Dances; Valse;
McEwen: Four Sketches; Three Keats Preludes; Sonatina; On Southern Hills; Five Vignettes from La Côte d'Argent;
Mackenzie: Three pieces from opus 13; Chasse aux Papillons; Harvest Home; Odds & Ends Book One

"Murray McLachlan has a sure touch..... what intriguing music!" - BBC Music Magazine

"Murray McLachlan..is superb.....a disc to be highly recommended" - British Music Society Newsletter

"The Scottish Romantics" was voted one of the four musical highlights of 1996 by John Purser in The Scotsman, who called this music "exquisite"

"The short-lived Hamish McCunn offers perhaps the sweetest music here; ........The music of Sir Alexander Mackenzie is indebted to some fairly obvious Romantic models, as McLachlan's well-informed notes point out, ........it's beautifully made for the instrument and effortlessly melodic - in a word, it's lovely. ..........an imaginative and intriguing CD. There's nothing here to shake the soul, maybe, but plenty to divert the ear. Recommended." - Martin Anderson - Fanfare (USA) - January 2000
