Notes
A special triple album of great Romantic works by one of the world’s most accomplished pianist specializing in works of that era. These stunning performances of Busoni’s Chaconne (after J S Bach) and Berg’s Sonata are receiving their first release; the other tracks were previously issued by Bayer and have been newly remastered. Schliessmann is a unique interpreter, never afraid to find a new expression and always searching for the heart of the music and the composer’s inspiration. On their initial release these recordings attracted great accolades: American Record Guide said: “The best pianist I know at entering the world and expressing the awareness of the German romantics. There is something personal and unique about Schliessmann's Schumann. It does not sound like anyone else's. He is better than any other pianist I have heard.” High Performance Review said of his Scriabin: “This is the most imaginative playing one has heard yet - on the level of Richter, Michelangeli, Wild, Gould - the highest order of artistry.”

“… I found this recital immensely satisfying, and I am delighted to recommend it for your consideration.” Ken Meltzer
Fanfare - January/February 2022
“… The crowning glory of the set … is Schliessmann’s Scriabin. His performance of the composer’s Third Sonata (F-sharp minor Op. 23) is magnificently powerful, while the six excerpts from the Op. 11 set of Preludes are exquisitely moulded …”
