Throughout his life, Philipp Scharwenka (1847–1917) was eclipsed by his younger brother Franz Xaver Scharwenka (1850–1924), who enjoyed a worldwide career as a piano virtuoso. It is only with the benefit of hindsight that we can appreciate that Philipp was superior to his brother as a composer. This is demonstrated by this rare recording that supplements Philipp Scharwenka’s somewhat meagre discography with his works for violin, viola and piano.
