GUY WARRACK KATHLEEN HAY (mezzo-sopran o) Hamish MacCunn (1868-1916), one of the most gifted composers that Scotland has produced, studied at the Royal College of Music under Sir Hubert Parry until 1886. In the following year he came into real prominence as a composer with his concert overture ' Land of the Mountain and the Flood '. The poetic basis of the music is the passage from Scott's ' Lay of the Last Minstrel', which begins : 0 Caledonia! stern and wild,
Meet nurse for a poetic child I
Land of brown heath and shaggy wood I Land of the mountain and the flood Land of my sires ! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band
That knits me to thy rugged strand ?

Anne Thursfield (mezzo-soprano)
The New London Trio: David Wise (violin); Norina Semino (violoncello); John Pauer (pianoforte)

Faure once said that his ideal of chamber music style is 'clarity of thought, sobriety and purity of form, sincerity, and disdain of big effects'. Ravel is a true disciple of Faure, under whom he studied composition. All these qualities together with a fresh and charming melodic invention and a delicate and colourful sense of harmony are to be found in Ravel's chamber works, of which the String Quartet in F and the Piano Trio in A minor are outstanding examples. The latter was composed in 1915 and is imbued with that gentle romantic feeling which Ravel appears to have repudiated in his more recent works.
