Betweenthe generations of Charles Ives and John Cage, American music produced anothertrue original in Henry Cowell, whose work in the realm of musical theory (heoriginated the term 'clusters', for example, subsequently much-used inavant-garde music of the late 20th century) has tended to overshadow his outputas a composer. Not any more, onehopes: this ground-breaking CD presentsnew recordings of a generous programme of his works for piano, both solo andconcertante, only one short piece of which is otherwise available. They are all well worth hearing - a majorrelease.
