Other info:

James Clapperton is a highly regarded pianist and composer, born in Scotland. Highly influenced at first by Ferneyhough, Finnissy and Xenakis his music has developed in a softer, more approachable and individual style which is at once "modern" and "romantic" in that it paints musical pictures and epicts programmes of personal and historic subjects. Ideal for those wanting to delve into modern repertoire without the extremes of modernism.

Review:
 

“Clapperton (b. 1968) is a left-leaning Scottish pianist-composer much preoccupied with Scottish themes, though cosmopolitan in his technical outlook - an heir to Ronald Stevenson, perhaps. The title of this survey of his work, and of the first item, indicates a return from the avant-gardism that exercised him as a young composer and virtuoso exponent of Ferneyhough and Xenakis to a softer idiom made of decorative, trill-like figures, and suggests a rapturous contemplation of a lost folk paradise. The approach serves equally for pieces such as The Testament of Cresseid or The Resoning betuir Aige and Yowth and miniatures dedicated to friends.”
