NEW RELEASE APRIL '24
"20th CENTURY FOXTROTS" - Vol.6 Southern Europe
The sixth volume of Gottlieb Wallisch’s acclaimed 20th Century Foxtrots series takes us to Southern Europe, with composers in Italy, Spain and other Mediterranean countries becoming caught up in the jazz craze that swept through dance and concert halls by the 1920s. International influences blend with regional character and famous names jostle with new discoveries, all of whose contributions create a joyous mix of exuberant theatricality, evocative elegance and colourful blues.

JAROMÍR WEINBERGER • PIANO MUSIC
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS
GRAND PIANO RECORDS (GP887)
Prague-born composer Jaromír Weinberger, a prodigy of near-Mozartian proportions, started the piano at the age of five and was composing by his tenth year. A student of Vítĕzslav Novák and Max Reger, he is the author of more than 100 works in all genres – the most famous being his 1927 hit-opera Švanda Dudák (‘Schwanda the Bagpiper’). While some of his orchestral masterpieces have been receiving the right attention, curiously his unjustly neglected piano music appears here in a series of world première recordings, which give justice to his great compositional variety, depth and contrapuntal mastery.
