About

As composer, pianist and educationalist, the Prussian-born Philipp Scharwenka (1847–1917) was one of most highly respected musicians of his day, although his star faded soon after his death. His music – more conservative and classical in orientation than that of his pianist-composer brother, Xaver – sits somewhere between Chopin and Brahms, with echoes of Schubert and Schumann. This second instalment of a survey of his piano music is intended to put these immediately attractive works before the public once again – for the first time in over a century.

“In this recital of piano music, we hear everything the 19th century has to give: Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Grieg – and, amazingly, a good dose of Scharwenka. It turns out that he had much to say, and he said it without imitation. While listening to this hour-long recital, I could not come up with a single reason that the music is not universally played and beloved. I know that having discovered it, I will not forget it.” – David Reznick, Fanfare (TOCC0521: Vol.1)
