The
Dallapiccolla/Shaw LP was the last release in the Gulbenkian Foundation's
Music Today series. In 1975-76 Drew was closely but not administratively
involved with Deutsche Gramophon's 3-disc album of music by Kurt Weill,
recorded by The London Sinfonietta under David Atherton immediately after their
Berlin Festival concerts in September 1975. There then ensued a fifteen-year
gap before the release of the first of the CDs Drew planned for
Largo.
