"Five Stars ... Iain Burnside presents impressive solo credentials: the serious technical demands of the Job arrangement cause him no problems, while his flair for conjuring orchestra-like colours from the keyboard is of the very highest standard of play."
- BBC Music Magazine
Award-winning piano accompanist Iain Burnside makes his first full solo recording with this album of rare repertoire by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Ivor Gurney. Williams was not renowned for his piano playing and as such wrote few works for the instrument. The Lake in the Mountains was his last piano work, composed for Phyllis Sellick in 1947. The version of Job "A Masque for Dancing" presented here was arranged for piano by Vally Lasker, made in the summer of 1930 to support dancer rehearsals for a production. The piano arrangement was considered significant enough to be published by Oxford University Press in 1931. Gurney, a student of Williams at the Royal Conservatory of Music, wrote over 40 songs and 80 poems during a period of remarkable and unexpected creativity as a 29 year old composer, including the Five Preludes for piano.
