This is a very important release for lovers of 20th century music, featuring the world premiere recording of the entire solo piano music of Sir Andrjez Panufnik (born in Poland but naturalized a British citizen), and some lesser-known miniature masterpieces by Dmitri Shostakovich. Pianist Raymond Clarke is one of Britain's leading exponents of modern music. His seven recordings for Divine Art, Diversions and Athene have all been highly acclaimed.
