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.

- Masters Music Publications (W7121, = 1909 version)
- Note: A troublesome work in establishing an “authentic” version, or versions. Elkin [511] exists in at least three distinct versions, all dated 1909. Two are labeled “(Revised Edition)”, but are different from each other as well as from the original 1909 text. A copy of the original edition resides with the estate, in which Scott has added many red-ink revisions, designed for an Elkin reprinting. Its interest lies in the fact that it corresponds to neither published “revised edition”, but represents a third revision, not necessarily last in chronology. Percy Grainger’s personal copy of the original 1909 edition exists in the Grainger Museum [MG C3/SCO-196], with copious annotations to the score, including elaborate markings for all three pedals, and cuts that reduce his performance time, as he states, from 25 ½ minutes to 19 (cf. S.165 and T.55).

Past Futurists
Music that's romantic and jazzy.
Marthanne Verbit comments: "We are now such a long way from the optimism, excitement, intellectual ferment and urge to experiment prevalent at the outset of the nineteenth century that it is difficult to believe all this really existed. The various movements that flourished during this era - impressionism, expressionism, futurism, cubism and neo-classicism, to name just a few - brought about a flood tide of music for the piano, this as diverse as the "movements" that inspired it. Perhaps at this point, we can listen with fresh ears to two of these earliest trend-setters, Cyril Scott and Leo Ornstein."

Neither Roger Quilter nor Cyril Scott achieved the worldwide celebrity of their colleague Percy Grainger; though their names may be familiar to specialists in early twentieth century British music, little of their piano music has been heard for many decades. The taste for fin de siècle reveries changed dramatically after World War I, and Quilter's poetic parlor pieces were eclipsed in the advent of modernism. Such perfumed pleasantries as the Studies (3), the Pieces (3), and the Impressions (2) could not be taken seriously by the avant-garde, and even Quilter's Impressionism in the Country Pieces, Op. 27, seemed passé by 1923. Cyril Scott, however, employed modernist techniques in many of his works, and his mystical explorations for piano were more attuned to the growing European trend for harmonic ambiguity and atonality. Yet the Scriabin-esque flavor of Rainbow Trout and the Sonata No. 2 plainly dated his music, and Scott's reputation as the boldest of English composers dwindled over time. Pianist Clipper Erickson has performed a valuable service in reviving these forgotten pieces, and his performances are atmospheric and energetic, giving Scott and Quilter the benefit of sympathetic interpretations after too many years of neglect. Direct-to-Tape's recording is decent, though it sounds closer to a live recital tape than a studio production.
