Alan Etherden's efforts in searching out and recording Victorian and Edwardian parlour pieces have produced three LP and cassette collections, from two of which this generous CD is compiled. Several of the pieces will probably still be familiar enough, among them Czibulka's Stephanie-Gavotte, Fibich's ''Poeme'', Elgar's Salut d'amour and Chopin's Nocturne in E flat. However, titles such as Durand's First Waltz or Thome's lovely Simple aveu will be most familiar to those who have inherited collections of Victorian and Edwardian piano music. The neglect of the latter, especially, is surely undeserved, while other, less well-known titles prove equally well worth reviving, among them Addison P. Wyman's Silvery Waves and Charles Kinkel's Angel's Serenade.
As I wrote in my 1984 review, there is sufficient variety in the contents to demonstrate, on the one hand, Alan Etherden's proficient handling of quieter passages such as those in the Chopin Nocturne and on the other the more virtuoso demands of display pieces such as Raff's Polka de la Reine. Above all, what the collection demonstrates is Etherden's ability to play simply written pieces with complete sincerity and winning advocacy, This must inevitably be a collection for a specialist audience; but it is one that many will dip into with great pleasure.'
