Description
The world premiere recording of works by Philipp Scharwenka performed by pianist Cansu Sanlidag.
A composer and pedagogue of Polish origin, Philipp Scharwenka established himself as a key figure in 19th-century Berlin's musical scene. As an accomplished pianist and respected professor, he co-founded the Scharwenka Conservatory while leaving behind a body of work marked by melancholy and drama, reflecting a deep inner life. His influence, though subtle, crossed borders from Berlin to the United States.
The Abendstimmungen (Evening Thoughts), dedicated to Moritz Mayer-Mahr, is perhaps Scharwenka's most intimate musical expression. These nocturnal works offer us an introspective journey, at times calm, at times troubled, in which the sky of a dark night is sometimes illuminated by the fleeting light of a star that pierces the darkness.
