It contains music that is pianistically exquisite (Coleridge-Taylor's Deep River, Ludovic Lamothe's La Dangereuse), fun (Howard Swanson's The Cuckoo, R. Nathaniel Dett's Jua Dance), dramatic (Wallace McClain Cheathem's Third Prelude) and pedagogical (Gamal Abdel-Rahim's Egyptian folksong variations, which are similar to Kabalevsky's sets of children's variations). The depth and breadth of 20th-century piano music is extended in this remarkable ongoing anthology of works by composers who remain underplayed and neglected. Volumes 4 and 5 are eagerly awaited.
