Dohnanyi: Etudes And Suites

Ernest Dohnanyi (1877-1960): Etudes And Suites – Martin Roscoe , piano(Hyperion 2019)

This fourth and final volume in Martin’ Roscoe’s survey of the complete piano music is a reminder of Dohnányi’s own value…These warm performances of the Suite in the Olden Style and the Six Pieces Op. 41 capture Dohnányi’s humanity, but the highlight is surely Roscoe’s towering account of the early (1899) Passacaglia in E flat minor, evoking the music’s magnificent line going back through Brahms to Bach. – BBC Music
