A fantastic album containing arrangements for Piano Solo of works by Frederick Delius. Several notable arrangers- including the close associate of Delius Phillip Heseltine- have faithfully arranged these Delius originals for Piano. Initially they appeared during Delius' lifetime and would all have been approved by him. These pieces demonstrate his magnificant mind for interesting melody beauty and impressionism.

This work owes its inception to Delius' friend Percy Granger who approached Delius for 'some piece for not too big Orchestra...and not too wildly difficult'. This work is the result of this request and is scored here for Piano Solo.

Well known themes from 20th Century classics arranged for solo piano. Includes 'Troika' from 'Lieutenant Kijé' (Prokofieff), 'Nimrod' from 'The Enigma Variations' (Elgar), theme from 'Peter & the Wolf' (Prokofieff) and more. * A Walk in the Paradise Garden fr A Village Romeo & Juliet (Delius) * Basse Danse (Warlock) * March fr The Love of 3 Oranges (Prokofieff) * Nimrod fr Enigma Variations (Elgar) * The Holy Boy (Ireland) * Theme fr Cello Concerto (Elgar) * Theme fr Piano Concerto 2, 2nd mvt (Rachmaninoff) * Theme fr Symphony 2, 3rd mvt (Rachmaninoff) * Theme fr Symphony 5, 2nd mvt (Shostakovich) * Themes for Peter and the Hunters fr Peter & the Wolf (Prokofieff) * This Little Babe fr A Ceremony of Carols (Britten) * Troika fr Lieutenant Kijé (Prokofieff) * Venus fr The Planets (Holst)

Peter Dickinson (b. 1934) is a British composer pianist and academic. He studied at Queen’s College Cambridge and the Juilliard School in New York and has since held professorships at Keele University and Goldsmiths’ College. His compositions are firmly in the 20th century idiom drawing heavily on influences from Cage Ives and Satie.Five Forgeries is a collection of Piano duets written in 1963. Each duet is written in the style of a different composer with movements inspired by Poulenc Hindemith Stravinsky Delius and Bartok. The collection is dedicated to the great composer Lennox Berkeley(1903-1989) who was Professor of Composition at the Royal Academy of Music for over 20 years and came to define the post-war generation of British composers.

One of the least known of the great Russian pianists of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, Alexander Siloti (1863-1945) was one of the most influential and progressive. As a concert promoter, he introduced the music of dozens of composers to the Russian public in the famous Siloti Concerts of 1903-1917, including Albeniz, Debussy, de Falla, Delius, Elgar, Enesco, Mahler and Schoenberg. A student of Liszt (and one of the teachers of Rachmaninoff), Siloti is a central figure in the development of the great age of the piano virtuoso. As with many of his colleagues, transcribing and arranging existing music for the piano was a major part of Siloti's activity, and since he madeno recordings, his published transcriptions are one of the few existing keys we have to his musical taste and philosophy. In an extended biographical essay, Dr. Charles Barber explores this issue and writes cogently about the style and influence of this remarkable man. The Alexander Siloti Collection is dominated by Siloti's remarkable transcriptions and arrangements of the music of J.S. Bach, notable particularly for their pianistic character and faithfulness to the unique genetic code of Bach's design. Some of the Bach works included are: Prelude in B Minor, BWV855a, Gigue from Suite in Bb Major, Chaconne in D Minor, the Organ Preludes in E Minor and G Minor and the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565. Music by Gluck, Mozart and Chopin is also contained in this generous compilation of pianistic wizardry. This addition to The Master's Collection is likely to be one of the most talked about piano folios of the year.
