Already for the 16th time the pianist Michael SchÃ¤fer opens up new worlds for us in his GENUIN series Un!erhÃ¶rt ("Unheard"). After the 2013 release of the CD featuring the (unrightfully) rarely performed chamber music by Leonid Sabaneev, Michael SchÃ¤fer is now presenting the first volume of Sabaneev's piano works as a double CD. This music seems to be placed between all worlds and epochs: music of a composer who experienced and suffered the entire Russian history, from the Russian Empire up until long after Stalin's death. Michael SchÃ¤fer plays to his customary high standard, inspired and passionate - for Russian fans and keyboard enthusiasts a must!
