  • Description

    To mark the centenary of Tippett's birth in 2005, this disc presents for the first time on CD three premiere recordings of his music from the 1940s: the Concerto for Double String Orchestra (recorded 1943) conducted by Walter Goehr; the Fantasy Sonata for Piano, performed in 1941 by Phyllis Sellick; and the String Quartet No.2, recorded in 1947 by the Zorian Quartet. Also included is the first recording of Tallis's 40-part motet Spem in alium, recorded in 1948 with Tippett himself conducting the choir of Morley College, London.
