John McLeod is a hero amongst Scottish musicians, not only for his prowess as one of the most inspired, if not among the most prolific, composers of today, but also for his work as a concert pianist, championing young composers as well as classical figures such as Haydn. This double album contains all of his music for solo piano including the five sonatas and 'Haflidi's Pictures' – works with narration and piano based on visual art by Haflidi Halgrimsson. Murray McLachlan is a highly esteemed pianist, teacher and enabler – and prolific recording artist. These recordings are from a series of live recitals in 2017 when McLachlan presented the entire McLeod piano output to a highly appreciative audience. All of McLachlan's children are already displaying exceptional musical talent; here, 15-year-old Rose makes her very fine recording debut.
