About

With a keen sense of musical poetry, pianist Jürg Hanselmann explores the early piano works of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. The twelve Character Pieces for the 'new' piano (1864) present the young Liechtenstein composer as a true master of musical miniatures: from the light, dance-like Duettino to the mysterious Notturno to the brilliant Etude and moments of heartfelt melancholy. The programme is complemented by the rarely performed Four Fugues for Piano (1862), which impressively showcase Rheinberger's masterful contrapuntal artistry. All works are world-premiere recordings. With rich colour, clarity, and heartfelt expression, Jürg Hanselmann opens the door to Rheinberger's previously little-known piano universe.
