    The next Synchron-Exploration focusses the World First Recording of 15 earliest Pianopieces from the 17 Year old Felix Weingartner composed even before he became one of the famous Liszt-Pupils. Insofar it is not that surprising, that Schumann, Schubert, but also a bit Wagner, Liszt and Beethoven are already audible in those nevertheless inspired and lively late romantic characterpioeces.

    It seems to me still worth to mention that Weingartner after being Successor of G. Mahler at the Hofoper in Vienna and for long Years Leader of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra belongs to the very few admireable german and austrian Musicians, who made from the beginning absolutly clear to completly dissent with the Nazis and their unreflected emotionalised behavior based on prejudices and hatered. So he found himself very early on those (nowaday most honorable) Lists of musicians who the Nazis decided to discriminate.

    Here you can listen

    the World first recordings of 15 Characterpieces (7 Sketches op.1 + 8 Tonepictures (based on Novells of Adalbert Stifter of the still adolescent young Felix Weingartner recorded with the Synchron Steinway.

    I hope you like that if ever you mighrt be interested in late romantic pianomusic.
