Title: Artur Lemba: Chamber Music, Vol. 1 - Works for Violin & Piano Artist: Triin Ruubel-Lilleberg Label: Toccata Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 5060113447531 Genre: Classical Artists Release Date: 2025-06-13 Number of Discs: 1
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 a pianist and teacher. That oversight is all the more surprising in view of the expansive lyricism of his writing - listeners who enjoy the music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov are likely to find Lemba's appealing. This first release in a pioneering series discovering his chamber music is accompanied by two historical recordings, one with the composer himself at the piano, and the other, almost a century old, of the one Lemba miniature to achieve some degree of popularity.
