The Impressionist period couldn't be more interesting in the history of French piano music. This volume presents little known French composers Louis Aubert (1877 - 1968) and Lucien Wurmser (1877 - 1967), who were both pianist-composers of the highest order. The 12 Preludes of Wurmser are appearing on recording for the first time. Detailed liner notes in English.
Bonus track: a gorgeous transcription of Debussy's famous chanson 'Beau Soir' by American pianist Koji Attwood, commissioned by Michael Lewin.
