*world premiere recordings
Simon Smith’s astounding debut recording features a kaleidoscope of piano works by Scottish composers James MacMillan and Stuart MacRae. Smith’s fluency in these contemporary pieces is exuberant and definitive, from subtle murmur to virtuosic flourish.
"Simon Smith is a phenomenal pianist... A strong, meaty recital, played with complete authority by a remarkable young musician" - The Herald
"I'm impressed with the way Simon Smith plays this piece - he brings an extraordinary energy to the first movement and a good deal of sensitivity and shape to the second, and I'm very glad his interpretation has been recorded here." - Stuart MacRae

Susan Hamilton first performed the music of Ronald Stevenson as a treble in 1985, when she gave the first broadcast performance of A Child’s Garden of Verses on BBC Radio 3.
Her unique, clarion voice inspired Stevenson to dedicate his May Songs for soprano and orchestra to her three years later. Since that early collaboration, she has brought Stevenson’s songs to audiences throughout Britain and abroad. Stevenson’s keen ear for setting Scots poetry in an original idiom is rooted in his panglobal approach to musical philosophy. He is as comfortable setting the words of Robert Louis Stevenson as he is the poetry of Tagore.
The present recording features the soprano version of A Child’s Garden of Verses alongside settings of Scots poems by Hugh MacDiarmid and William Soutar and a short translated verse by the Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean.

From its earliest beginnings, the five course Baroque guitar was associated - for better or worse - with dance music, becoming the sensuous younger cousin of the lute or vihuela. In this mélange of music from seventeenth-century France, Gordon Ferries weaves a tapestry of sound that is at once elegant, earthy, and utterly timeless.
Praise for Gordon Ferries
"Delicately poised playing" - BBC Music Magazine
"Full of vitality and will soon have your foot tapping" - Early Music News
