A contemporary of Schumann, Stephen Heller was a Hungarian pianist and composer. He wrote numerous works, including collections of studies, that possess enormous didactic value and demonstrate a rare lyricism. His catalogue comprises 158 opus numbers, almost all of which are piano works, plus several unnumbered pieces. Emulating Schumann, one of Heller's works is titled Kinderszenen, which is presented here alongside the world première recording of his Notenbuch für Klein und Gross, Op. 138. With these two collections, written in a remarkably sensitive and evocative style, Heller takes us back to the world of childhood.
“There are some particularly attractive and individual ideas in the collection. Gerosa makes a good case for their revival and follows them with 25 further brief character pieces…a decent recording which repertoire junkies will welcome” Gramophone
