Percy GRAINGER

Gems for Piano

Penelope Thwaites (piano) (69' 21")

1 CD(s), DDD

Review:

"An excellent basic Grainger collection.. the choice has been shrewd.. remarkable how often the works sound best in piano versions.. one of the pleasures of Thwaites' playing is that her obvious enjoyment (pause for a fraction before a luscious chord) does not get in the way of the music's thrust."
(Gramophone)
