Raphael Terroni

Background: Milford’s compositions fall into three main periods - apprenticeship, maturity, and what one might call 'deeper maturity with experimentation' - which can be identified with stages in his life. This CD showcases piano music and songs from across four decades of Milford's prolific and varied career, providing examples of all three periods of his musical development. The youthful expectation and promise of the 1920s is captured here in My Lady’s Pleasure - exquisite folk dances for piano. The happy maturity Milford found in the 1930s, shown in the more complex stylistic development of Prelude, Air and Finale. The darkness that descended upon Milford in the 1940s and ’50s, brought on by war and personal tragedy, culminated in his eventual suicide in 1959 - a period represented on this CD by the moving Swan Songs.
