Franz Schubert: From 34 Valses Sentimentales D779: Nos. 1,2,3,4,12,13,15,16,17. Johannes Brahms: 16 Waltzes, Op. 39. Edvard Grieg: Waltz Caprices, Op. 37. Paul Hindemith: 8 Waltzes, Op. 6. Wolfgang Rihm (b.1952): Mehrere kurze Walzer.

Andreas Grau, Götz Schumacher (piano duet).

A wonderfully entertaining disc, offering a kind of 'waltz retrospective' - not the Johann Strauss variety, but the 'salon' piece which had it's heyday during the 19th century. The old 'oom-pa-pa' still exerts an attraction for modern composers, too, as the examples by Hindemith and Wolfgang Rihm (recorded here for the first time) amply demonstrate. A joyful listening experience, all the better for being perhaps unexpected from col legno.
