Price: Sek. 160 David Stanhope is known throughout Australia as one of the few resident conductors of note. But his talents are much broader than that, being a prolific composer, especially of wind band music (see TP107), and he has also had a career as a pianist. With this recording he shows that despite all his other activities, his fingers are still as agile as ever. The programme is not for the pianistically faint-hearted, as it includes some of the most difficult work in the piano literature.
