The fourth and last installment in our celebration of Hans Werner Henze compositions focuses primarily on early works. It includes three of four works that originally appeared on an LP on the L'Oiseau Lyre label (DSLO4) and two cantatas that originally appeared on Deutsche Grammophon 139 373. The fourth work from DSLO4 (Apollo et Hyazinthus) was re-released on the CD that made up AGP63 and so does not appear here. The two cantatas are not LP transcriptions but were drawn from an out-of-print CD from the Henze Collection series, courtesy of a dedicated AGP partisan in Germany. The installment includes a PDF file with liner notes from the two LPs these works originally appeared on (see pp. 1-3).
