Opis

This collection brings together all of Rawsthorne's popular piano works, re-engraved, lightly edited, and with an introduction by John McCabe. Rawsthorne had an intuitive understanding of the piano and showed great brilliance in writing for it. This is a rich selection of original material with great appeal for all pianists seeking rewarding and imaginative contemporary repertoire.

Recenzje

. . . for £14.95, you can now have four terrific works plus the inimitable, delightful duet set called The Creel. None of this is easy but all of it has character and pianistic integrity and should definitely bring new admirers to this fine composer. My tip of the month.

O autorze

Alan Rawsthorne was born in Haslingden, Lancashire. He spent a period of training as a dentist, and not until his early twenties did he take up music seriously. After the war - during which Rawsthorne served in the Army - he devoted the bulk of his time to composition. Rawsthorne was awarded the CBE in 1961, and was made an Honorary Doctor of Music by Liverpool, Essex, and Belfast Universities. He died in Cambridge on 24 July 1971.
