Danish composer J. P. E. Hartmann was the leading romantic Danish composer who influenced generations of Danish composers, not least Niels W. Gade and the son Emil Hartmann. He was a prolific composer and composed in all genres. His extensive music for piano is sadly too little known outside Denmark, but with its romantic tone, melodic charmed and harmonies known from Schumann and Mendelssohn it will come as a pleasant surprise to all lovers of romantic piano music.
Danish pianist Thomas Trondhjem is here presenting the third album of a complete recording of all the works for solo piano by J. P. E. Hartmann. The first two volumes received very positive comments from many critics. © Danacord
