This album has finally made its way through the Toccata "Pipeline" and will be available on 17 Jan.  (and as always, hooray for "Volume 1" designation!)

Album blurb:  As composer, pianist and educationalist, the Prussian Philipp Scharwenka (1847–1917) was one of most highly respected musicians of his day, although his star faded soon after his death. His music – more conservative and classical in orientation than that of his pianist-composer brother, Xaver – sits somewhere between Chopin and Brahms, with echoes of Schubert and Schumann. This first instalment of a survey of his piano music is intended to put these immediately attractive works before the public once again – for the first time in over a century.

Strangely enough, unless it's a typo, Amazon UK shows it (the CD) nearly a year away, 31 Dec 2020.  Wonder what that's all about....?
