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.
