Reviews
“Anderson plays beautifully, though—what tone, what technique, what a touch!”
“American pianist Mark Anderson is a fine guide to these unknown compositions. He invests them with both seriousness of purpose and lightness of touch. He also wrote the notes for the CD booklet and these show how deeply he has entered Röntgen’s world. This is the second volume of a series”
