This exciting series of 2-CD sets from EMI Classics features music written in the 20th century, a period of enormous upheaval, both political and artistic. During these 100 years music went through an unprecedented period of revolution and transformation and the music in these sets illustrates how these changes manifested themselves in the musical landscape. This will be the sixth release in the 20th-Century Classics series from EMI Classics. With striking covers and budget prices, these sets provide a perfect introduction to the oft-times challenging music of these composers.
