Pianist Leslie De'Ath's traverse of the vast piano music of Cyril Scott has received remarkable critical plaudits, and here he completes his survey in a two-CDs-for-the-price-of-one package (another wonderful Dutton Epoch bargain), which constitutes Volume Five. This may well turn out to be the most popular of the lot as it includes many of Scott's most celebrated numbers including Lotus Land.
