recommended starting point. “Insightful and affectionate performances of the rarely-heard Norwegian Folk Song arrangements of Grieg are a particular delight here. Grainger's Tchaikovsky is equally discerning.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
