More lovely stuff from the prolific Röntgen!

Now streaming. Sonatas and sonatinas from various points (1872, 1916 and 1898). Neat :)

Just caught up with this one - wish I'd bought it earlier. Want to hear an unalloyed masterpice? Try the Piano Sonata in A minor from 1898 (not the early one in A major on the same CD). It's an intensely memorable and richly textured piece in four movements taking 25:50. I know the word masterpiece is overused, but in this case I am blown away by its magnificence:

I am in full agreement, Alan. It's a lovely work, full of rich harmonies, and very sensitively played by Mark Anderson.
