Press Reviews
References to Stravinsky's own recordings may well interest those with an appetite for comparing a composer's markings with his instincts in a studio.
Finally Boosey & Hawkes present all of Stravinsky's piano music in a single volume and at a bargain price. This is a wonderful eclectic mixture to have, with virtuoso classics such as the transcription from the ballet 'Pertrushka' and the Dour Etudes rubbing shoulders with neo-classical masterpieces.
Britten's pacifist masterwork, combining war poetry by Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass, is included in the Masterworks Library of full scores, ideal for conductors, students and music lovers.
