Bartók Connections and Panufnik Sampler Now Available!
(December 2007)
Boosey & Hawkes has collaborated with Bartók expert Malcolm Gillies to produce Bartók Connections, a new guide exploring repertoire themes for this towering figure of 20th century music.
Bartók Connections contains repertoire notes for the composer's complete output of works published by Boosey & Hawkes, Universal Editions and Editio Musica Budapest (all available through Boosey & Hawkes, NY). The guide also contains themed essays taken from various retrospectives on Bartók's music, a detailed timeline, plus a rich variety of images provided by the Bartók Archive Budapest and by the composer's son, Peter Bartók.
A printed version with CD sampler is available upon request for performers and programmers by emailing composers.us@boosey.com, and a web version of the guide with soundclips is available to all at www.boosey.com/bartokconnections.
A new promotional CD sampler exploring the music of the great Polish composer Andrzej Panufnik (1914-91) has just been released. This sampler invites the listener to discover Panufnik beyond his popular Sinfonia Sacra, with works that chronicle his experience in war-torn Poland, his survival as a composer under the Socialist regime, and his life as an exile after his dramatic escape to the West in 1954. Beyond the autobiographical influences, his compositions set out to reconcile emotion and intellect, reaching back to a near-medieval fascination with metaphysics and geometry.
The new sampler is available to performers, promoters and choreographers; email composers.us@boosey.com for your own copy.
