Semykras,dmytro - Rheinberger: Pno Works - Music CD

Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger's musical legacy can be found in his reputation as a renowned organist and professor, as well as in his extraordinary facility and productivity as a composer in all forms, including a considerable amount of solo piano music. From the high-spirited Second Sonata to his final Fourth Sonata, with it's defiant opening and hymn-like Romance, Rheinberger's piano sonatas are polished, beautifully balanced, and tasteful, drawing on established Classical-Romantic traditions while being especially effective in producing flowing and memorable melodies.
