Description:
In this wonderfully planned programme the whimsical poetry of York Bowenâ??s Hans Andersen â??fragmentsâ??â??music for a fully-fledged technique, despite the fairy-tale titlesâ??is pleasingly complemented by the bravura of the studies. Nicolas Namoradze proves more than equal to the demands of both. - .. ANDERSEN / WORKS BY YORK BOWEN
