That the Munich pianist Michael Schafer is making us listen to in the 17th album of the GENUIN Un!erhort! ("Unheard of!") series is unbelievable: World premiere recordings of the mysterious Leonid Sabaneev are on the program. And not for the first time: following a release featuring the composer's chamber music and the first part of his works for piano, Schafer now presents a third brilliant recording with additional works for piano solo. This music "between all worlds, between all times" is glowing, animated and is played at the highest technical level. Everyone will enjoy this music- not only Russian fans and keyboard enthusiasts! Since it's founding by Michael Schafer in 2006, the Un!Erhort! Series has established itself as a highly-praised and internationally respected landmark project for the rediscovery of great- albeit forgotten- music. All the recordings published in this series have been met with the highest praise from critics of leading music magazines and forums and been awarded numerous prizes and honors. So let each new release in this series stir your curiosity as a listener once more and discovery what unheard of riches from the musical cosmos still await you!
