Product Description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Edward MacDowell's piano mastery with this classic album, released on January 1, 1989, under the Delos label. The album is a compelling blend of two of MacDowell's most celebrated works: the dramatic and evocative "Sonata Eroica in G Minor, 'Sonata No. 2'" and the technically demanding yet musically rich "12 Virtuoso Etudes, Op. 46."

Meanwhile, pieces like "Valse Triste" and "Träumerei" offer moments of introspection and lyrical beauty.

With a total runtime of 53 minutes, this album is a perfect introduction to MacDowell's piano repertoire, offering a balance of technical brilliance and emotional depth. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, Edward MacDowell's "Sonata Eroica in G Minor / 12 Virtuoso Etudes" is sure to delight and inspire.
