Though he professed not to enjoy concert giving, Grainger was one of the greatest pianists of the earlier twentieth century and had an intimate understanding of the capabilities of the piano and how best to write for it. He possessed a unique compositional voice and was, in many ways, part of the great composer–pianist tradition stretching from Liszt to Busoni for whom the concert transcription was an essential part of their art.This recording contains the majority of Grainger’s concert transcriptions of music by other composers (his few Bach arrangements are performed by Piers Lane on Bach Piano Transcriptions Volume 3). They range from the folk-inspired Irish Dances of Stanford, full of Grainger’s characteristically extrovert piano writing, to the hyper-romantic lushness and incredible pianistic sophistication of his Ramble on Love based on Richard Strauss’s ‘Rosenkavalier’. All are superbly played by Piers Lane.

This reissue commemorates the 50th anniversary of Grainger’s death in February 1961.Harmonium, four guitars, two mandolas, two mandolins, two ukuleles, piccolo, three clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, two alto saxophones, horn, strings, piano, baritone and choir: and that’s just the scoring for one piece, the famous sea shanty Shallow Brown.Grainger’s Jungle Book cycle was recorded here (for the original Hyperion release) for the first time. The eleven contrasting movements vividly portray the sentiments of Kipling’s poetry and Grainger wrote of the cycle that it was ‘composed as a protest against civilization’.‘This disc offers a sympathetic, endearing portrait of a composer too often valued for his wackiness and eccentricity alone’ (Classic CD)‘Unquestionably an important and relishable release’ (Hi Fi News)‘A capella singing at its very finest’ (Soundscapes, Australia)‘Ce superbe album vient confirmer l’extraordinaire intuition de Grainger pour l’écriture chorale. La perfection des solistes, des choeurs et des ensembles instrumentaux permet d’apprécier dans ces moindres nuances le sauvage raffinement de Grainger’ (Diapason, France)GRAMOPHONE EDITOR’S CHOICE
