Modelled with a clear deference to the Song without Words form of Mendelssohn, Loreley is based loosely on the 1801 poem by Clemens Brentano, 'Zu Bacharach am Rheine' in which the tragic heroine Lore Lay climbs a rock on the Rhine to look for the lover who had abandoned her but who slips to her death on the riverbed below. A richly Romantic piece with astonishing emotional power, this piece is a gem in the crown of any concert recital.
