Breuninger/Berthaud/Triendl - Philipp Scharwenka: Trio Op. 121, Duo Op. 105, Viola Sonata Op. 106, Four Concert Pieces Op. 104

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.
