Mary Dullea — Eric Craven: Pieces for Pianists, Vol. 2 (2021)

For most of his life Eric Craven has kept a very low profile, concentrating on his teaching career and quietly developing his \’non-prescriptive\’ composing method, a sort of aleatory style but which allows the performer varying degrees of freedom. His earlier cycle of short pieces, \’SET\’, was recorded after Craven was persuaded by leading pianists to make his work available. Highly praised, that technique is shown again to great effect in the \’Pieces for Pianists\’, producing music that is varied, interesting, but perfectly accessible for listener and performer. Volume 1 attracted very positive reviews: \»joyous, playful and satisfying music.\» — New Classics; and we are sure that this second set will find many new fans for this very individual composer.
