Peter Warlock continues to be an underrated, and underperformed composer in the present day. An original early 20thC voice yet with a tragically short life.
Good faithful rendering and I'm happy to see it on YT. I am glad to see that you were not able to solve a strange scrabble towards the end of #1! I never could either and I now think it's an error on his part. It's a very early work and unlike Moeran he wrote nothing else of consequence for the piano. Great pity. But was he ever a great song composer and the harmony in the piano accompaniments is integral to that genius! 100 of the greatest English songs ever written - not a bad record!
I find these a meandering, directionless set of preludes. If you read about how Warlock first started to compose, improvising at the keyboard, coming up with some interesting chords then sticking them together then this is what you get.

Lovely! Well done...
Great pieces, learnt prelude no 2 for my exam although personally feel it sounds even better just slowed down a bit in some places.
I listened again and I obviously mean #2 - my bad
