Exam board publications are almost always of a fairly high editorial standard, but Trinity's A Recital Anthology undeniably raises the bar. It is such a good selection, so well edited and presented...If you are in the market for an expansive, representative collection of music from the core classical piano repertoire at first diploma level, this is then without question the best I have seen. A truly exceptional publication.
