Post Description

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Percy Grainger's death in 1961, Chandos is re-issuing The Grainger Edition, Volumes 1 - 19, in a nineteen-disc box set, which will be available at a very special price.The box set demonstrates the extraordinary range of Grainger's compositional styles, including orchestral works, works for wind orchestra and for chorus and orchestra, solo songs, works for chamber ensemble, as well as works for solo piano, here performed by Penelope Thwaites. On Volume 16, Works for Solo Piano 1 (CHAN 9895), Fanfare wrote:

'Rarely has the precociousness of his [Grainger's] talent been better demonstrated than on this new disc. the rarities, like the more familiar pieces, are played with unapologetic conviction. Penelope Thwaites paints the music in bold strokes. a major contribution to the Grainger discography.'
