Mini
ature Suite was written
for David Munrow in 1969,
receiving its first
performance with
harpsichordist
Christopher Hogwood in
London's Purcell Room
that year. The material
of each of its five
movements is drawn from
the recorder's solo
introduction. Following
the enthusiasm of
recorder virtuosi John
Turner it was revised in
2011, and the revised
version was first
performed by John Turner
and Ian Thompson in
Casterton Church on April
3rd 2011. The works has
been recorded by the same
artists for the Prima
Facie label (Recorder
Fireworks
PFCD0010).
