Two piano sonatas & six preludes by Friedrich Gernsheim, from Toccata, available (on USA Amazon anyway) early June.  And with the always-tantalizing "vol. 1" designation on the album cover.

Oh - and a very welcome release this is too. I know how highly Martin Anderson rates Gernsheim.

Gareth Vaughan

I heartily agree, but how strange that it is not listed anywhere on the Toccata website (I checked today) nor has it featured in the section for planned releases: "Toccata Pipeline". So we did not know anything about it until now.

I believe he only published one piano sonata so I'm guessing this is based on manuscripts from the archives in libraries in Israel. Hope more's on the way...

Oh good - this sounds like a must buy for me!

Martin Eastick

A definite must-have! I do hope however that these scores become generally available to interested parties - myself included!

Terrific music by a terrific composer, terrifically performed. Buy it!

Gareth Vaughan

I must say the extracts sound absolutely delicious. This music is first rate.
