About
EM Records’s second double-disc set, presents the complete, deeply atmospheric, piano music by E.J. Moeran alongside works by Moeran’s English and Irish contemporaries. Included on this disc are première recordings of works by Aloys Fleischmann and Ronald Swaffield, while music by Howells, Vaughan Williams, Baines and Pitfield complete a set of discs that open musical vistas of the rugged mountains and grandeur of wild Ireland and the verdant pastorality of England’s lush hills. The young and brilliant pianist, Duncan Honeybourne, communicates perfectly the magic and majesty of these works.

The three works of Ronald Swaffield are all enticing miniatures...Honeybourne identifies completely with all this music and plays it with much feeling.
16th April 2013
This absorbing two CD set is therefore especially valuable and it has two points strongly in its favour; firstly the persuasive advocacy of Duncan Honeybourne - who clearly loves this music); and secondly the placing of Moeran’s piano works within the broader context of the English and Irish keyboard writing of the time...I would rate this new two CD set as the best complete recording of Moeran’s piano output.
