Elisabeth Lutyens : Chamber Concerto/ Isis and Osiris

A retrospective of Lutyens' output which includes works ranging from the terse economy of Chamber Concerto No.1 to the fluid lines of The Valley of Hatsu-Se for soprano and small ensemble.

"The most important record I reviewed during 1993 may well turn out to be the Elisabeth Lutyens collection. By eloquent performance and shrewd choice of works, a figure who had begun to seem a brave but perhaps outdated pioneer was revealed as a creative artist of individual and expressive refinement."
Gramophone Critics' Choice 1993
