Title: A must for those interested in the first North American school of dodecaphony
Review: The title of this review says it all. Barbara Pentland, like Elisabeth Lutyens in England, has been unjustly neglected (a) as a woman composer and (b) as a composer who made use (at least part of the time) of her own version of serialism. In Pentland's case one might add (c) as a Canadian composer. This is a good sampling, and leaves one eager to hear more of her work.
Is the review positive or negative?
