Album Summary

Composer

• Peter Maxwell Davies (1934 - )

Notes & Reviews:

"Davies's immaculately judged part-writing displays a bracing mastery of the idiom and, needless to say, the Magginis once again play with superlative poise and intelligence. Both sound and balance are first-rate. I impatiently await the next instalment." - Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone
