Frey / Splett- Emil Frey: Piano Music, Vol. 1 (CD)
The music of the Swiss pianist-composer Emil Frey (1889-1946) reflects the stages of his career: studies with Fauré, friendship with Enescu, teaching in pre-Revolutionary Russia and mature familiarity with developments back in western Europe. This first survey of his music also reveals a virtuoso's understanding of the piano and a sense both of drama and of fun.
