CD: John Ireland 70th Birthday Concert
JOHN IRELAND

A London Overture
Piano Concerto in E flat major
The Forgotten Rite
These things shall be

John Ireland drew musical inspiration from his English heritage, its poets and landscapes. He became a celebrated composer during the first half of the 20th century, championed by conductors such as Sir Adrian Boult. Boult conducted the première of These things shall be in 1937, encouraged Ireland to expand his Comedy Overture from a brass band work into the orchestral A London Overture and popularised the Piano Concerto played here by celebrated Australian pianist Eileen Joyce. Boult programmed this Promenade concert in 1949 to mark Ireland’s 70th birthday.

IRELAND (1879–1962)
70th Birthday Concert

'If you like Ireland or British music from the first half of the 20th Century you will find much to enjoy here. Boult was always an excellent advocate for his country’s music, and his close association with the composer brings a level of authenticity to the performances. Best of all, the sound is very good for 1949. ' American Record Guide 2010
