Peggy Glanville-Hicks: Etruscan Concerto (CD)
One of the major figures in Australia’s musical heritage, Peggy Glanville-Hicks’s work has been unjustly neglected and rarely recorded. This album presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the glowing colours of her orchestral writing as she conjures up the mysteries of the ancient Etruscans and perfumed evenings in Morocco, as well as the final scene from her final opera, Sappho.
