This is the last CD in Mark Bebbington's pursuit of the underappreciated piano music of John Ireland (1879-1962). The titles of the three groups of occasional pieces here give a clue to their character: Three Pastels, In Those Days and Leaves from a Child's Sketchbook. Their wistful, bucolic mood, at times folk-inspired, at others drawing inspiration from a Bach chorale (Meine Seele erhebt den Herren), is well captured by Bebbington, who brings variety to this charming but sometimes unvarying music. Ireland occupied a key place in that group of English composers – Bax, Berners, Bridge, Lambert etc – now being revivified. Bebbington's enterprise, recorded in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, plays an important part in completing the picture of early mid-20th-century British music.
