Even nearly 200 years after Beethoven’s death, his music still has much to discover. Pianist Ulrich Roman Murtfeld presents on his new GENUIN Album a curated selection of piano works by the Viennese genius, including both rarities and famous pieces. He juxtaposes the magnificent “Waldstein Sonata” with the early Sonata in E-flat Major, op. 7, and the furious “Rage Over a Lost Penny” with the variation works on a “Swiss Song” and “God Save the King.” Murtfeld’s refined and precise piano playing brings both new discoveries and great classics to light! www.genius.de
“This stylistically varied program is well performed by German pianist Ulrich Roman Murtfeld. He obviously has the taste as well as the virtuosity required by the various composers.” – Guy Engels, Pizzicato
“Murtfeld is a pianist to reckon with. He has a point of view and a vivid imagination. His playing is both a pleasure to listen to and (speakin as an American) downright refreshing. Heartily recommended.” – Patrick Rucker, International Record Review
“This beautifully produced SACD presents Murtfeld at his musical best.” – Steven Hall, The Piano Magazine – Clavier Companion
