Toronto composer's work to be recorded in U.S.
A prize-winning work by Toronto composer Oskar Morawetz will be recorded by
the U.S. Decca firm, he said today.
It is the Sinfonietta for Winds and Percussion which last year took first
prize among 104 entries judged by a panel of European music critics.
The score, which also will be published by Leeds Music Co., has been played
by such prominent conductors as Seiji Ozawa of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
and Walter Susskind, who used it to open this year's Aspen Festival concert
season.
Morawetz also said that his piano Fantaisie is being recorded by Glenn Gould
for international distribution by Columbia, probably in November.
