Metronome announces the release of Spectrum 3, a collection of 25 pieces for solo piano, commissioned in 2000 from composers from twenty-five different countries by Thalia Myers for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and all receiving their recording premiere here. Each composer was asked to write a three minute work and the musical mosaic which results from the collection gives a truly global window on the legacy of the piano in the 21st century. From Iceland to Singapore, the Lebanon to Sri Lanka via Russia the composers have distilled their musical personality into these miniatures.
