KUHLAU, F.: Piano Sonatas, Opp. 8a and 127 / Piano Sonatina, Op. 20, No. 1 (Lühr)
Friedrich Kuhlau was among the most important early Romantic composers in Denmark, becoming known as the ‘Danish Beethoven’ for his popular works for flute. The Piano Sonata, Op. 127 reveals a deep expressiveness reminiscent of Chopin’s Études, while the sophisticated Piano Sonata, Op. 8a shows Kuhlau’s contemplative, darker side before closing with typical virtuoso esprit. The charm and elegance of the Sonatina, Op. 21, No. 1 has delighted piano students for generations.
This recording was made on a modern instrument: Grotrian 208 Charis
