Stevenson/ Guild - Piano Music Vol. 6

This sixth instalment in Christopher Guild's survey of the piano music of Ronald Stevenson (1928-2015) on Toccata Classics concentrates on works from the beginning of his career, most of it written after his decisive encounter with the music of Busoni. Although Stevenson had not yet moved to Scotland, the influence of Scottish folksong can be heard in some of these pieces, all of which are cast in the lyrical counterpoint that was a hallmark of Stevenson's mature style.
