Various Artists - Rarities of Piano Music 2017 (CD)

Facts Founded in 1987, the annual Rarities of Piano Music Festival in the North German town of Husum is a major event. Danacord is proud to release the recording from the 31st festival in 2017 featuring once again rare piano music played by some of the leading pianists of today. Among the highlights you will find the truly remarkable pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin and very rare piano works by Blagoy and Dupont. Many of the works are first ever album recordings and, as usual, are all unedited live performances. All lovers of piano music will want this release, not only because of the first class pianism from truly outstanding performers, but also because the quality of the often unknown and rare mostly romantic piano music is of such invaluable substance. Critics are raving about the piano sound.
