Product details
In the thirty years since his Centenary in 1982 it has become
even clearer that Percy Grainger [1882-1961] - composer, pianist
and revolutionary - was a man born out of his time. Many of his
ideas, both musical and social, sit far more easily in our
contemporary world. Those thirty years have also seen a notable
expansion of interest in Grainger's music. Innumerable recordings
have been made, including the first complete Grainger recording
survey by Chandos in its monumental Grainger Edition. The growth
of the internet has made it possible, as never before, for
Grainger's music to be heard widely.
The central theme of The New Percy Grainger Companion is
to give information and help from established musicians for
performing and listening to this life-celebrating repertoire. The
Companion's fully detailed, up-to-date Catalogue of
Works - the most complete of any existing catalogue - gives
invaluable assistance. Authoritative contextual chapters in the
Companion offer some surprising new background
information, together with thoughtful evaluations which signal a
new twenty-first century perspective in Grainger scholarship.
