Percy Grainger's version of trad Irish music
I'm loving to bits these Romantic-piano-virtuoso versions of traditional Irish, Scottish and English folk tunes.
Now I'm off to play piano myself. (Nothing like this, of course. I'm working on Debussy's 'Minstrels', the C minor prelude from Bach WTC I, Shostakovich's prelude and fugue in C, the second movement of the Moonlight sonata, and the first movement of the Italian Concerto. I've glanced at Debussy's 'Danseuses des delphes' too, and poked a bit at Joanna Newsom's '"En Gallop"', but I've had lots of trouble making the piano sound as delicate as Newsom makes her harp sound, so I'm not really looking at this any more.)
