Piers Lane (piano)About
'This superbly recorded disc (played on a gorgeously voiced Steinway) is Lane's love letter to the piano. I wish more pianists would share their guilty pleasures like this' - Gramophone (Piers Lane Goes to Town: CDA67967)
'Lane in wonderful, debonair mode here, sparkling through a personal encore selection from Jamaican Rumba to a Toccata by his own father, and from Myra Hess to Dudley Moore' - BBC Music Magazine (Piers Lane Goes to Town: CDA67967)
Reviews
This return visit to a fascinating area of repertoire by a pianist, Piers Lane, who clearly loves and excels in it, gets an enthusiastic recommendation
The selection here focuses on the dance and, as Lane notes in his extensive and genial booklet essay, contains pieces he has mainly performed as encores, mixing the well-known with works especially composed for him: ‘the noble and contemplative alongside the populist and humorous’. ... Almost all the 17 titles here have some career connection to the pianist, personal taste dictating which will appeal more than others. Jeremy Nicholas
This is a wonderful follow-up to Lane’s previous Goes to Town album. Younger pianists should take note; a judiciously curated disc of encore-style music such as this offers a joyful listening experience that will likely prove more lasting than yet another Beethoven cycle or Liszt sonata.
