EDWARD GREGSON (b.1945): Complete Solo Piano Music - Sonata in one movement, An Album for my Friends, 3 Études, Lullaby, A Song for Sue (Edward Gregson [piano]), 6 Little Pieces, Friday a.m., 4 Pictures for Piano Duet (w/Rose McLachlan [duet]).

Description: Pianist McLachlan says of Gregson’s piano music that “he knows the importance of restraint and control; nothing is overly stated, repeated or extended. Concentration and craftsmanship permeate every bar that the composer has penned”. Renowned for his orchestral oeuvre, Gregson shows us a more intimate but no less impressive side in his piano music. From the Lullaby composed while a student, to the Tippett-inspired sonata, one is charmed, moved and thrilled in equal measure by this program of his complete music for solo piano. Murray McLachlan (piano).
