About
Pianist Leslie De’Ath’s traverse of the vast piano music of Cyril Scott has received remarkable critical plaudits, and here he completes his survey in a two-CDs-for-the-price-of-one package (another wonderful Dutton Epoch bargain), which constitutes Volume Five. This may well turn out to be the most popular of the lot as it includes many of Scott’s most celebrated numbers including Lotus Land.
Recorded: Maureen Forrester Recital Hall, Faculty of Music, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 6 & 11 June and 22 August 2007, except 14 December 2005 (Ballad); 30 December 2005 (Solitude); 17 & 19 July 2006 (Arabesque, Two Piano Pieces, Moods), Legend

It’s an amazing panoply, brilliantly realised by Leslie De'Ath, with his own well informed booklet-notes. …the Pierrot Pieces are lovely; Rainbow Trout scintillates to perfection; and Poems is as fine as any of Scott's cycles. This consistently admirable series... contains such a quantity of immediately attractive piano music that you'd expect to hear something on Classic FM every week.
