John Ireland: Piano Works

This album, performed by award-winning pianist Rebeca Omordia, is an exploration of John Ireland’s piano music composed over a period of almost forty years, his distinctly English yet individualistic musical style is reflected in works bearing evocative titles that reveal Ireland’s deep connection to landscapes and literature, creating a unique sound world.
