KOPPEL, H.D.: Edition, Vol. 2: Piano Variations (Westergaard)

With the 'Herman D. Koppel Edition, Vol. 1-3', Christian Westergaard, a renowned Danish pianist, tackles the music of one of the 20th century's greatest Danish composers, Herman D. Koppel (1908-1998). From Koppel's brief, starkly simple piano pieces to his lavish, sprawling masterworks, all teeming with vitality and introspection: As you listen, a whole world unfolds, rivaling the depth and breadth of Paul Hindemith's oeuvre.
