The three works on the CD are from the 1990s. Suite for Piano Duet South of the River evokes different emotions reflecting places in the area where Hugh lives. The six pieces that make up the suite produce some sensuous soundscapes as well as high energy pieces.

"This is a CD to be cherished. Hugh Shrapnel's music is remarkable for its lyricism and lightness of touch. Whatever the object of his concern, benevolence prevails. The playing is lovely throughout, and there is much of rare (and dare one say, feline) delicacy." Howard Skempton
