Mark Bebbington - Ireland: Piano Music, Vol. 3 (2014)

Largely due to the efforts of the young pianists of today, chief amongst them, Mark Bebbington, John Ireland is at last being recognised as a major influence in British music. Educated by Stanford at the Royal College of Music in the tradition of Brahms and Dvorak, he subsequently absorbed some of the influence of Debussy and Ravel but although he always remained curious about later compositional styles, he remained essentially a Romantic throughout his career.
