Cyril Scott plays his Lotus Land




Cyril Scott plays his own short composition, Danse Negre, Op. 58 No. 5. Recorded October 4, 1928 on Duo-Art reproducing piano roll and played on a ca. 1929 Chickering Duo-Art.




Percy Grainger playing Cyril Scott, Lotus Land Op. 47 No. 1., in a 1929 Duo-Art reproducing piano roll recording. It is played on a ca. 1929
Chickering Duo-Art that I recently restored. Grainger was a close friend of Scott, and they even recorded some two-piano music together, so this is a version that Scott heard and approved of. It is considered by some (like the Pianola Institute) to be one of the best Duo-Art recordings ever made.
