The recording of In the Night given above is both recent and complete. Prior to its inclusion here, we had a one-page extract from Eric Parkin’s recording, included by kind permission of Chandos Records Ltd. It remains accessible below for the sake of interest: Eric Parkin was very complimentary about the Fand edition, and his is the first recording of the work. The one-page sample was chosen to correspond with one of the sample pages from the score: to follow through the music while listening, first click the Play button to start the sound playing and then click on the third sample page (page 8), above, to see the music.
Eric Parkin, Piano
