About

This set is a celebration of one of Australia’s most pioneering composers, described by Peter Pears as one of its “most independent and single-minded spirits”. It includes many CD premieres.

The Penguin Guide described this collection: “This is an altogether delightful anthology, beautifully played and recorded by these distinguished artists…the recording is an extremely good one.
