Palmgren: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 8

Jouni Somero (piano)

Selim Palmgren along with his contemporaries Rachmaninov, Glazunov and Sibelius, was invited for a professorship at the Eastman School of Music and was considered the equal of these composers during his day. In Palmgren’s lifetime his music was published and performed widely gaining much popularity and acclaim. Today he is largely forgotten so it is with Jouni Somero’s project to record Palmgren’s complete piano works that we gain a fuller picture of this fascinating composer’s music. From virtuoso concert studies to the remarkable variety in the Ten Pieces, Op. 79, this eighth volume in the series consists almost entirely of world première recordings.
