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 warm to Lemba’s full-blooded Romantic style. This second release in a pioneering series discovering his chamber music reveals three expansive, big-hearted works full of personality.
