Backtrack of the Week. Tippett.

Each Friday we select a track from a Naxos Music Group album released twenty years ago to provide the accompaniment for five minutes of your downtime.

This week’s pick from the Naxos label (8.557611) features British composer Michael Tippett’s piano sonatas, specifically the neo-classical First Sonata which, in Tippett’s own words, is “a young man’s work, with all the exuberance of discovery and creation which that commonly implies.” We’ve selected the third movement, marked Presto.

BUY/STREAM: 8.557611
