Sten Lassmann - Eller: Complete Piano Music Vol. 3

The third release (in a series of seven CDs) continues Toccata Classics' pioneering releases of music by Baltic, and especially Estonian, composers. Heino Eller (1887-1970) was one of the founding fathers of Estonian music - the best-known of his students is Arvo P�rt.His huge output of piano music encompasses some 200 works, almost none of which have been recorded before - this CD includes nine first recordings and two first digital recordings. The music on this CD ranges from charming romantic miniatures and virtuoso showpieces to expressionist preludes and quirky folk-pieces. The main item is his 1939 Theme and Variations - one of his best works for piano, but not published or recorded before now.
