“Cyril Scott was one of those very typically early century English breed of eccentric and dilettante. In his 5 Poems from 1912 I hear nothing to fuss about. They are evocative short pieces, but the musical language is early Debussy – hardly original.”. On “Valentines” by Marthanne Verbit, Albany Troy 071 (1992) with works of Gershwin, Antheil, Ornstein, John Diercks, Joseph Fennimore.
