Peter Seivewright presents a disc of American sonatas for piano, headlined by the composition from Elliot Carter. Carter himself gave a glowing testimony following a performance by Seivewright in 1983 that he attended – describing it as “a most remarkable, breathtaking performance”.

Coupled with the Carter piece are works by two other highly influential figures, Miklós Rózsa & Edward MacDowell. There is no other version of the Rózsa listed in the Muze/Gramophone Classical catalogue.
