COMPOSERS: Karg-Elert
LABELS: CPO
WORKS: Walzerszenen; Four Pieces, Op. 23; Aus dem Norden
PERFORMER: Ernst Breidenbach (piano)
CATALOGUE NO: 999 711-2
Best known to organists, Sigfrid Karg-Elert also wrote a good deal of piano music. The 35 tracks here don’t suggest a distinctive voice, but then Ernst Breidenbach is not the most sensitive pianist and his approach is monotonously high-pressure. Adrian Jack
