Listen to a sample from Piano Music by Ivor Gurney and Howard Ferguson
Gurney thought of music in the context of place and place in the context of music. The influence of Chopin, Grieg and Schumann are all discernible in his music, but overlaid by Gurney's individual style and colouring.
Ferguson's dramatic Piano Sonata and the Five Bagatelles make ideal couplings with Gurney's more delicate output.
