Description:

Piano Music is an album by C. Nielsen, released in 2018. The album is a classical 2-CD. - JOHN MCCABE

Incomparable composer and pianist John McCabe, who passed away in February 2015, had recorded Nielsen's Piano Music on LP for Decca's Ace of Diamonds back in 1975. More recently, the SOMM label was approached by John's wife, Monica McCabe, to ask if they would consider issuing it on CD. From an early age, John loved to explore little-known works and considered Nielsen's Suite, Op. 45 a true masterpiece. The piano music of Nielsen, whose 150th anniversary is celebrated this year, is overshadowed by his six symphonies but his piano music has always had a special place in the hearts of music lovers worldwide. These recordings have been unavailable for many years; now newly re-mastered, they are given a new lease on life and serve as a timely reminder of McCabe's unique interpretations.

Recorded at St. George The Martyr, Holborn, London - 1973/4. Originally released on Decca Ace of Diamonds, 1975: CD 1 as [m738467]. CD 2 as [m738468].
