The complete cycle of Gerhard Frommel’s seven piano sonatas is completed with the release of this second volume, showcasing award-winning pianist Tatjana Blome. Frommel regarded his piano sonatas as a miniature compendium of his entire output, reflecting a fundamentally Romantic approach melded with Stravinskian vitality. The Sixth Sonata’s poised profundity, inventiveness and structural perfection gives it a place as one of the best in its genre, its serene transparency lying between the powerfully heroic Fifth Sonata and the crystalline quality of the Seventh Sonata, Frommel’s last such work.
"The spirit of Frommel’s sonatas runs like a recurrent theme in his complete oeuvre. I have found a cosmic entirety via interpretation and presentation of each individual piece of this wonderful music. Like looking through a kaleidoscope of mosaics united as symmetrical figures, one can find a whole world of its own in each of those figures. In this regard, the development and unfolding of the musical language of Gerhard Frommel can be identified in his complete set of works as well as in the development of each individual sonata."
