Martin Jones selected works on this release to include extended concert works, picturesque pieces, and short studies for educational use. Alan was a complete musician a composer, performer, teacher, and a person of extraordinary natural musicality. Small wonder then that he was viewed with profound respect by all those within the musical profession who were privileged to come into contact with him. As a pianist one was struck by his innate rhythmic verve, a facet which indeed radiated through all his compositions but perhaps the quality above all else that will be remembered was that which can best be described as a mezzo voce bel canto, the realization of a choice and refined ear, and the product of a deep thinker and inner tranquility. It is that satisfying synergy of elegant lyricism and rhythmic energy which distinguishes the keyboard works of pianist and composer Alan Richardson. After WWII he gave piano lectures at the RAM and in 1960 he was appointed professor of piano at the Academy. The following year he married the oboist Janet Craxton, daughter of Harold Craxton, himself a distinguished professor at the RAM. This happy personal and musical union resulted in the formation of a duo partnership of great distinction. (Paul Conway)
