This is the first release on Chandos of the beautiful and engaging music of Sir John Blackwood McEwen (1868-1948). These are his three border ballads: Grey Galloway (1908), The Demon Lover (1906/7) and Coronach (1906). The order here is the composer's. They are extended tone poems based loosely on various English, Scottish, and Celtic ballads. What McEwen has done is to frame them in a broader tone-poem setting, enhance them with more orchestral color, and finally making them more dramatic. They have similarities to the tone poems of Arnold Bax, especially Coronach (or perhaps it's the other way around). This is beautiful--and original--music, anyway. --Paul Cook
