"You are the most striking personality in contemporary music, and I am happy to thank you for the influence you have had on me." So wrote Bela Bartk to Igor Markevitch, one of the most unique people in the history of music. Here we have a composer who at the age of sixteen (1929) played his own Piano Concerto at Covent Garden in London. The following year the great impresario Diaghilev premired his ballet L'Habit du Roi, and by the time he was twenty he was regarded as one of the great composers of the 20th century. Yet today he is only remembered as an elegant and gifted conductor, especially of Russian and French repertoire.

Apart from one work preserved on 78 r.p.m. discs, and a handful of radio broadcasts, the present series of recordings is the first ever made of the arrestingly original orchestral music of a composer hailed in the 1930s as one of the singular voices of his time, yet subsequently ignored - not least by himself. Thus, these discs may offer the beginnings of an opportunity to decipher the mystery that is Igor Markevitch.
