Grainger: Vol. 17 - Works For Solo Piano 2

Penelope Thwaites is known worldwide as a leading authority on Grainger's music and was awarded the International Percy Grainger Society's Medallion in recognition of her work. She was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2001 Queen's Birthday Honours List, in recognition of her work for Australian composers, including Grainger.

This is the first time Grainger's piano works have been recorded and annotated in the chronological order of their basic musical material, thus giving a unique perspective on the works themselves and where they fit into Grainger's entire composing career.

Reviews

'…a wonderful album of Graingers solo piano music… her [Penelope Thwaitess] devotion to his art shines out…'
BBC Radio 3 ‘Building a Library’

''Rarely has the precociousness of his talent been better demonstrated than on this new disc… the rarities, like the more familiar pieces, are played with unapologetic conviction. Penelope Thwaites, a Grainger advocate since well before the current boom, paints the music in bold strokes… a major contribution to the Grainger discography.''
Fanfare on CHAN 9895

''There is a personal character to Grainger's music also, which gradually emerges as Grainger expert Penelope Thwaites journeys through the first decade of his composing life… the unique Grainger glow, which comes from wistful chromatic harmonies that are spiked with wit, is definitely there.''
BBC Music Magazine on CHAN 9895
