About
'Quilter’s music is extraordinary in its metrical ingenuity, especially the solo piano music, which is particularly personal in its expression. Convention requires him to choose just one time-signature at a time, but the story is usually much more complex than that. This rhythmic virtuosity stems from his love of language, just as it did in Mendelssohn.' David Owen Norris

David Owen Norris's performances convey exactly the sense of contained delight I'm sure Quilter would have wanted. He hints at veiled emotional depths and brings out the almost Schumannesque textual riches in some of the pieces without ever straining to make a point...Recommended to anyone enthusiastic about English music - and it may even surprise one or two who aren't.
