Erik Chisholm - Music for Piano, Volume 4

Erik Chisholm is not a well-known name but is one of the most important British composers of recent years, with a very large output of music in several genres. Much of his music is based on Scottish tunes, such as the Piobaireachd (bagpipe airs) which appear throughout his piano works. The acclaimed pianist Murray McLachlan has recorded the majority of his solo piano output for a total of 7 CDs all at mid-price.

All seven volumes available in one low-price bundle!

    “

    My regard for Chisholm grows with each new recording of his music. Every piece is strongly characterised and his musical language(s) are widely derived and have a feeling of original thinking. This newest attempt to bring Chisholm out of the shadows ought to succeed; a composer well worth exploring.

    “

    [Chisholm] is capable of writing with succinct economy and yet there are always surprising twists of harmony and rhythm that avoid the commonplace. Throughout this disc Murray McLachlan once again shows his dedication to the Chisholm cause. I hope other pianists will be inspired by him and play Chisholm’s music; some of it ought to find a place in the repertoire. At his best Chisholm’s piano music can hold its own among that of the first half of the twentieth century. It simply demands to be heard.
