This album comprises all works for piano solo composed by Gordon Getty between the nineteen sixties and today. This is what the composer wrote about them in the liner notes: “The five called Homework Suite date from my year at San Francisco Conservatory of Music (1962). Andantino and Scherzo Pensiersoso were written this year. It might as easily been the other way around. Fifty years ago, I could steal unconsciously from others and now more from myself, but the language and perspective are the same”. |

| |  | Getty - Orchestral Works
The American composer Gordon Getty is best known for his vocal works (previously released on PTC5186017, PTC5186040 and PTC5186054). This CD features some of his orchestral pieces. The Ancestor Suite is a ballet score which was premiered in 2009 by the Russian National Orchestra. The overture “Plump Jack” is taken from Getty’s 2-Act Opera. All World Premiere Recordings. “...the Ancestor and Homework Suites offer a winning series of orchestral miniatures, beautifully, sometimes robustly scored...Marriner and the Academy play all this music with great character and finesse, and the pianissimo strings are often exquisitely beautiful.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2010 “There is the scent of Aaron Copland in the air, or, more unexpectedly, Malcolm Arnold....Tiefer und Tiefer is a slow waltz for strings, again suggesting Copland or, in its harmonic changes, Leonard Bernstein. In its own small way, it works wonder, and Getty should pay himself on the back...The recorded sound is fit for a king.” International Record Review, May 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
