That the Munich pianist
Michael Schäfer is making us listen to in the 17th CD of the Genuin Un!erhört! (“Unheard of!”) series is unbelievable: World premiere recordings of the mysterious Leonid Sabaneev are on the program. And not for the first time: following a CD featuring the composer’s chamber music and the first part of his works for piano, Schäfer now presents a third brilliant recording with additional works for piano solo. This music "between all worlds, between all times" is glowing, animated and is played at the highest technical level. Not only for Russian fans and keyboard enthusiasts!
