Digital Booklet
|
Scottish pianist, composer, and pedagogue Helen Hopekirk drew on her musical heritage in many of her works, combining folk-influenced lyricism with the pianistic idioms of the times in which she lived. This is apparent throughout the pieces presented on this release, such as Iona Memories from the early 1900s to Two Tone Pictures from the late 1920s, all receiving their premiere recordings at the hand of American pianist—and Hopekirk specialist—Gary Steigerwalt.
