I love this composer so my review is biased. This is a nice collection of Nancarrow's best known works. I highly recommend buying all 3 CDs in the series.

If you are looking for a very different kind of classical solo piano music that is challenging yet rewarding, then these works by the "leftist" American composer/pianist Conlon Nancarrow who lived in a self imposed exile in Mexico are for you to explore and hopefully enjoy. I am new to classical music, but probably because I am a fan of jazz music and early 20th century solo piano music ...i.e. James P. Johnson, Scot Joplin...etc, made these studies for piano player, intriguing to say the least.

I decided to start with Volume One after I saw a video clip of Study No.11 on YouTube, and here is the link, try to give it a listen and you will know what I am trying to say :-)
