A Hundred Years Of British Piano Miniatures

A Hundred Years Of British Piano Miniatures
A lovely idea, and there are some gems here, but I’m not sure that most of these miniatures are ‘keepers’.

About

The piano pieces here trace a trajectory from the Edwardian poetry of Leo Livens to the overdubbing of Peter Reynolds by way of a century of evocative, descriptive and exciting miniatures. Reflecting pastoral, light and experimental traditions, these previously unrecorded works offer rich variety from neglected composers.
