A new collection with contributions from performing musicians and
Grainger scholars and a detailed Catalogue of Works. In the thirty
years since his Centenary in 1982 it has become even clearer that
Percy Grainger [1882-1961] - composer, pianist and revolutionary -
was a man born out of his time. Many of his ideas, both musical and
social, sit farmore easily in our contemporary world. Those thirty
years have also seen a notable expansion of interest in Grainger's
music. Innumerable recordings have been made, including the first
complete Grainger recording survey by Chandos in its monumental
Grainger Edition. The growth of the internet has made it possible,
as never before, for Grainger's music to be heard widely. The
central theme of The New Percy Grainger Companion is to give
information and help from established musicians for performing and
listening to this life-celebrating repertoire. The Companion's
fully detailed, up-to-date Catalogue of Works - the most complete
of any existing catalogue - givesinvaluable assistance.
Authoritative contextual chapters in the Companion offer some
surprising new background information, together with thoughtful
evaluations which signal a new twenty-first century perspective in
Grainger scholarship. PENELOPE THWAITES is recognised
internationally as a leading Grainger exponent. Her research,
performances and extensive Grainger discography over four decades
reflect a unique understanding of the manand his music.
