Description
This collection illustrates the vigour and variety of modern piano music. These original compositions span standalone pieces, albums, suites and arrangements from talents as diverse as Igor Stravinsky, Francis Poulenc, Lennox Berkeley, Witold Lutoslawski, Hans Werner Henze, Peter Maxwell Davies, Philip Glass and Ludovico Einaudi. As well as these concert pieces, a number of works have been written specially for screen. From Michael Nyman's celebrated music for The Piano to Richard Rodney Bennett's score for the now rarely seen but superb 1980s miniseries of Tender Is The Night, there is ample proof of the richness added to international screen dramas by first-rate composers. These and over 100 more piano pieces make The Library of Modern Piano Music a true classic.
