From the modal Oockooing Bird, written when he was a teenager, to the monumental The Axe Manual, Harrison Birtwistle’s piano works stretch across his entire compositional career. Whether written for a large public forum or as occasional pieces for friends and family, all the works on this disc reveal a composer committed to exploring the sonorities and physicality of the modern piano in new and exciting ways.
