Triin Ruubel-Lilleberg – Artur Lemba: Chamber Music Vol. 1 – Works For [CD]

Description

The music of Artur Lemba has been strangely neglected, even in his native Estonia – although during his lifetime (1885-1963) he was held in high regard as a pianist and teacher. That oversight is all the more surprising in view of the expansive lyricism of his writing – listeners who enjoy the music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov are likely to find Lemba’s appealing. This first release in a pioneering series discovering his chamber music is accompanied by two historical recordings, one with the composer himself at the piano, and the other, almost a century old, of the one Lemba miniature to achieve some degree of popularity.
