Cyril Scott

on BBC Radio 3

90th Birthday Concert
Claude Debussy described Cyril Scott as ' one of the rarest artists of the present generation.' He studied in Germany with Roger Quilter and Percy Grainger , and was once regarded as the last word in modernity. In fact, he wrote in a harmonic idiom years ahead of his time; other composers from 1920 onwards gradually caught up with him. Today's programme is the first of two to be given this weekend to mark the composer's birthday Records of CYRIL scott playing some of his own piano music li.15* String Quartet No 2
