Piers Lane gambols delightfully through the twentieth century in this album of encores, party pieces and a few pianophile rarities,ranging from Dame Myra Hess’s unforgettable arrangement of Bach’s Jesu, joy of man’s desiring to Dudley Moore’s equally unforgettable Beethoven pastiche.

This album includes ?rstrecordings of, among others, John Ireland’s Ballerina and Mark Saya’s Offenbach/Chopin con?ation Barcarolles.Anumber of these pieces are byAustralian composers who wrote for Piers himself. His unbounded virtuosity and joy in the music is clearly an inspiration, and is evident throughout the recording.
