Luis Pipa - Philipp Scharwenka: Piano Music, Vol. 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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. Album Tracks 1.
