Nicodé Piano Music on Toccata

[4candles]

Some members will be delighted to hear that a series of recordings of piano music by Jean-Louis Nicodé is forthcoming from Toccata Classics. The first volume has just been added to their Pipeline page and includes the following, in first recordings:

• Piano Sonata, Op. 19
• Scherzo, Op. 19a
• Italienische Volkstänze und Lieder, Op. 13

Pianist: Muen Vanessa Chen

Interesting, but this is early Nicodé and probably unrepresentative of his mature style.

Still an unsung composer though! 

[Alan Howe]

Absolutely. It's just that the composer's main claim to fame rests on his later music, such as Das Meer and Gloria! (both never recorded).  Thanks for telling us about this upcoming recording, though.

I have relocated the discussion of Nicodé's Gloria to the earlier thread on this subject.
