Collected Edition Vol.1 [CF:PEP01]

Larry Pruden (1925-1982) is one of a handful of New Zealand composers who studied under Benjamin Frankel at London's Guildhall School of Music. Pruden's significant contribution to the establishment of a genuine New Zealand vernacular lives on in the works for which he is best known. The early piano works appended to this volume reveal the scope of Pruden's musical influences, ranging from Ivanovic to Rachmaninoff and Verdi.
