About

How might one combine the worldly elegance of a Chopin with the so very 'heavy' chromaticism of Wagner's Tristan? Felix Blumenfeld, today almost entirely forgotten as a composer, knew the answer to this question - as his Prélude op. 17, No. 19 impressively demonstrates.

However, before this so very original gem, which is only one of the highlights on our Blumenfeld CD, concludes this program, Karl-Andreas Kolly has a whole series of other surprises ready that will make the hearts of fans of Russian piano virtuosity and other interested listeners beat a little faster.

Karl-Andreas Kolly's Josef Suk retrospective continues to be fondly remembered, and his Blumenfeld CD again traces a path taking us to a piano repertoire that has been neglected for much too long.
