Folk-song collector, bandmaster, composer of quirkily original orchestral and choral music, his works have yet to be fully appreciated--or even cataloged. The problem was that he liked to keep his performance options open, and generally produced several versions of the same piece, some of which were complete rewrites (and therefore new works), while others were modest rescorings.

This is not to say the Chandos release is not good. It is very good. It's just ... Read More Rating - I love this CD! Best known for his piano compositions like Country Gardens and Shepherd's Hey, Percy Grainger was in fact a prolific choral composer. His choral works focus mostly on folk music of Britain, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, and America. As a folk song "collector," Grainger traveled Europe in search of individuals that could sing these traditional pieces in the original style that had been passed down by oral tradition. The result is a fabulous array of ... Read More See More Philips products
