About
The cover art is H.A. Payne’s The Enchanted Sea, which was part of the inspiration for Sea Pictures. The booklet, meticulously annotated by Owen Norris, includes complete song texts. An inquisitive and acclaimed Elgar performer, Owen Norris is the only pianist to have recorded the complete solo piano works of Elgar, as well as the reconstruction of Elgar’s Piano Concerto which he has performed throughout Europe and North America.
