Daniel Tong - STOLEN DANCES

This album is inspired by the fantastic physicality and variety of dance forms in which composers from Granados to Shostakovich excelled. There are some hidden gems as well as pieces that will be familiar to all - and they have the novelty, as transcriptions, of all having been 'stolen' from the original. These arrangements are creative, fun and often virtuosic.-Includes Shostakovich's 'Three Fantastic Dances' released in the composer's 50th death anniversary year-Includes Ravel 'Piece en forme de habanera' released in the composer's 150th birth anniversary year
