Heinrich von Herzogenberg: Piano Music

Heinrich von Herzogenberg (1843–1900), though a highly respected figure in his own time, has only recently begun to be rediscovered as a gifted and immediately communicative composer. His music, like that of his hero, Brahms, offers an effortless flow of beautiful melody – and, as also with Brahms, behind the apparently serious demeanour there lurks plenty of rhythmic pep and an easy-going sense of fun.

4 reviews for Heinrich von Herzogenberg: Piano Music

  1. :

    “This is one of the first releases on the new Toccata Classics label, and if the exemplary standards of this collection are anything to go by collectors are in for a treat.…The recording, made in a Lincolnshire church last year, combines warmth and detail to perfection, with an impressive weight and depth to the sound.” —Julian Haylock, BBC Music Magazine

  2. :

    “The playing throughout shows much more than dedication to an obscure cause. Goldstone and Clemmov are a formidable team, unanimous both in attack and in interpretative ideals. Their conviction that this is far from second-rate music is infectious, and they make a warm, resonant, beautifully coloured sound that serves Herzogenberg’s art admirably.” —Stephen Pettitt, International Record Review

  3. :

    “…everything on the CD is recorded for the first time, in ideally eloquent performances that bring out the excellence of Herzogenberg’s keyboard writing and in beautifully natural sound. Warmly recommended for intrinsic interest, not just as an act of restitution.” —Calum MacDonald, Piano Magazine
