| AGP72 features the
piano music of Milton Babbitt as played by Robert Taub, transcribed
from an out-of-print CD that was provided by an AGP partisan and
devoted Babbitt aficionado in the USA. The recordings were originally
released on a Harmonia Mundi LP (HMC 5160) in 1986. Milton Babbitt was
one of the major American composers of the twentieth century, and a
pioneer of both 12-tone and electronic music. Supplementing the CD
transcription are two works for chamber ensembles, transcribed from LPs
(Nonesuch H-71372 and CRI SD 499). The tracks altogether are just
barely too large to fit on a CD. Sorry! The installment includes a PDF
file with liner notes from all three releases.
