The music of Artur Lemba has been strangely neglected, even in his native Estonia – although during his lifetime (1885–1963) he was held in high regard as pianist and teacher. That oversight is all the more surprising in view of the expansive, passionate lyricism of his writing – listeners who enjoy the music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov are likely to find Lemba’s appealing. This first release in a pioneering series discovering his chamber music is accompanied by two historical recordings, one with the composer himself at the piano, and the other, a century old, of the one Lemba miniature to achieve some degree of popularity.
