MERELY MOERAN,
By Melvyn M. Sobel "Melvyn M. Sobel" (Freeport, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moeran: The Complete Solo Piano Music (Audio CD)
E. J. Moeran [1894-1950] is not ultimately a composer of particularly strong profile or profundity and if his piano works are neither completely engaging nor memorable, they still retain a distinct naïve charm and attractive melodic grace. Unlike his esteemed teacher and colleague, John Ireland, close friend, Arnold Bax, and compatriot, Frank Bridge, Moeran reaches for the same heartfelt nostalgia, wistfulness, angst, but unfortunately merely skims the surface. There is, however, his penchant for a tangible pastoral lyricism that is quite disarming, and if the compositions sound a tad homogenous, it is a familiarity that breeds comfort, not contempt. Regardless of overall musical significance, it is a considerable bonus nonetheless to have all Moeran's creative invention accessible on one disc. Pianist Una Hunt brings to this music warmth and obvious affection, nicely produced and recorded.[Running time: 77:04]
