Discovering Helen Taylor

Helen Taylor, who died tragically in 1950, was a gifted and promising Julliard-trained composer and the wife of Grant Johannesen. Taylor's scores have been resurrected by Johannesen and are presented here with wonderful new digital recordings and complete biographical notes. Taylor's symphony, edited and conducted by Ralph Laycock is an especially ambitious achievement. The album has been reviewed and praised in the audiophile magazine Fanfare.
