this is actually quite a substantial and seemingly well constructed piece of work... arguably rather underrated. the perfoamnce is also indeed rather fine, no doubt from performers who have this music in their blood.

Definitely Ciaran. I do not have the full set yet but I only have a few more to get and I do intend to complete it.

I assume the Zimerman recording here is the same as this:

Beautiful music, beautifully played. I think I really like Zimerman's style. I love his Debussy Préludes too.

Simon, this is also an indispensible recording...

whilst this is both excellent and structurally fascinating...
