Ludwig Schuncke (1810‐1834) died tragically young of tuberculosis at age 24. He was hailed in the Leipzig musical circles as a young genius, Robert Schumann (who became a close friend) exclaimed: "this is the one we were waiting for!" Schuncke wrote for the newly founded "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik", was a member of Schumann's Davidsbund, and quickly established himself as a composer. His style, firmly rooted in the classical Viennese tradition, is infused with Romantic gestures, and emotional outpourings, his pianistic style strongly influenced by his comrade Schumann: flourishing and virtuoso.
This new recording contains the complete piano music of Schuncke, a Grand Sonata and several salon pieces of brilliant and diverting character: a real discovery!
Played with brilliance and gusto by the young Russian pianist Tatiana Larionova.
