Description: Pieces, most of them pretty obscure, inspired by the sea in all of its moods: stormy, sparkling in sunshine, rolling waves, breakers on the shore, nocturnal calm in silvery moonlight - you get the picture. The pieces are, stylistically, mostly Romantic or neo-Romantic, a few Impressionistic; etudes, scherzi, song-form, miniature tone-poems. Never a moment of monotony even if you listen to all 75 minutes consecutively. Janice Weber (piano).
