Alan Rowlands

Alan Rowlands (1 March 1929 – 2 January 2012) was an English pianist (though born in Swansea, Wales) who made notable contributions to British musical life both as a teacher and as a performer.

[1] He obtained a degree in chemistry at Jesus College, Oxford, before winning a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music (RCM) under Angus Morrison.

He studied much of Ireland's piano output with the composer himself, who recommended him to undertake a recording of the complete Ireland piano music.

[3] Rowlands completed the manuscript of Ireland's Ballade of London Nights, a piano piece composed in 1930.
