Description
The piano works of the Czech-born composer Antoine Reicha (1770–1836) – friend of Haydn and Beethoven, teacher of Berlioz, Liszt and Franck – are one of the best-kept secrets in music. The massive variation-set on a simple French gavotte recorded here for the first time reveals a composer who tempers his learning with a vivid sense of humour. Henrik Löwenmark is the world authority on the piano music of Reicha. In 2006 he finished his master’s thesis, The Piano Music of Anton Reicha, at the University of Gothenburg. Fanfare greeted the first volume in this survey ecstatically: 'This is, joyfully, the first volume of a project to record all of Reicha’s piano music […]. Unhesitatingly recommended’.
