Scott's Piano Quintet is played with passion and the closest rapport by the much-missed Terroni and the Binghams. Bridge's rhapsodic, open-hearted Piano Quintet is also an enjoyable feast.

About
This recording, following his pioneering account of Scott’s Sonata No. 3, was entirely down to Ray’s vision and efforts. His recorded legacy, which should been larger, includes Lennox Berkeley, Goossens, Scott, Leighton, Holbrooke, Cooke, Milford, Arthur Butterworth and Eric Coates. It’s impressive and rewarding. This, displaying so many of his strengths and enthusiasms, was always especially close to his heart though.

May 2013
the results are both moving and powerful...Cyril Scott's First Piano Quintet emerges as very much the work of a pianist-composer and is dedicated to Debussy...The results are warmly expressive and spontaneous-sounding over all four movements. It is good to have these fine works available on disc at last.

This is playing that is sincere, vital, passionate and highly responsive to the demands of these scores.
