Thanks for this - for years I’ve been talking about how Farewell to Stromness is not the lovely little ditty that gets played at funerals and weddings but is actually part of a biting protest satire, but it’s been difficult to convey that without having a commercial recording of the whole work to reference it to!

Such beautiful piano playing on Farewell to Stromness. Thank you .

Thanks for posting, but the reverberant acoustic made it tough for my old ears to pick out the words. That caveat aside, and the Covid era did produce a lot of caveats for enterprising efforts such as this, it’s good to hear the interludes in context. Don’t be discouraged by my negative comment, the pluses outweigh the minuses.

Worth doing, but it would have been better if the words were clearer
