Reviews

Rawsthorne is lauded as one of the most individual British composers of the 20th century and these Selected Piano Pieces, which bring together all of his most popular work, validate such claims. The four Bagatelles typify Rawsthorne's intuitive understanding of the piano and present an emotionally varied and harmonically ambiguous journey, from the dynamic opening allegro to the final tranquil lento in 12/8. A refined Sonatina, Four Romantic Pieces, Theme and Four Studies and The Creel (an approachable duet suite about fish - live ones) follow. Fresh contemporary material with wide appeal for the intermediate pianist and above
