Animations is a collection of pieces focusing on lively rhythms and sparkling articulate music – not all of it at faster tempos. There are goblins and grasshoppers gypsies and witches; Grieg and Goldschmidt co-exist with Horne and Hummel; there is entertaining and sometimes unfamiliar music by Scarlatti Schumann and Chopin. There is dance music a plenty as you would expect in an album devoted to movement and as well as a waltz and a mazurka there is a gigue by Reger and a galop by Casella. Piano Moods is an exciting new Piano series from Boosey & Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey& Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.
