Description
The British-born Henry Litolff (1818-91) maintains a toehold on the repertoire thanks to the enduring popularity of the Scherzo of his Concerto symphonique No. 4 for piano and orchestra. Litolff's substantial output of music for solo piano - mostly virtuoso salon miniatures - has entirely slipped from sight, even though in his prime as composer and pianist he was often compared with Liszt, a personal friend. This first album devoted to Litolff's piano music reveals a fondness for atmospheric character pieces and vigorous dances, not least the polka, mazurka and waltz.
