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.
