The Romantic but highly underrated Sergei Bortkiewicz

[fateclassical]

Bortkiewicz's music is so rare and not many I guess has been published. What do you think of him and his works?
In my opinion, he was a great composer who composed some of the most beautiful works. Too bad he is not widely known.

There's a reasonable chunk of it on IMSLP, and some pieces still readily available in print.

He's not as well known as perhaps he deserves, but he's not exactly rare.

I only play one piece of his. It holds a very special place in my heart, though!

[rovikered]

There are excellent recordings of Bortkiewicz's piano music played by Stephen Coombs on the Hyperion label and by C. Katsaris on the Piano 21 label.
I am very attracted to his music but unfortunately I do not have any of the scores.
