"This is a CD not to be missed, for it is top notch in every respect. Most highly recommended. Clipper Erickson’s performance of each work is masterly, and the reproduction of the piano puts you in the room next to it." Enos Shupp, The Delian June 2005

Cyril Scott and Roger Quilter were two of the "Frankfurt Gang" (the others being Percy Grainger, Balfour Gardiner, and Norman O’Neill) of young students studying at the Hoch Conservatorium in Frankfurt during the 1890’s. Quilter’s piano music is virtually unknown, and here all of it comprising numerous miniatures is recorded for the first time. Much of Cyril Scott’s music reflects his mystic side, and none more than the difficult and complex one-movement Second Sonata which receives its recorded premiere. Rainbow Trout is one of Scott’s best known piano works and is dedicated to Percy Grainger. Carillon typifies the many piano pieces by Scott with chime or bell-like effects. Children of all ages will delight in Zoo (Animals for Piano), written in 1930 for Scott’s children Vivien Mary and Desmond Cyril.
