Robert Kahn was born in Mannheim in 1865 and died in Biddenden, Kent in 1951. Kahn became an influential professor of music at the Berlin Hochschule, and before that had his works performed by the Joachim Quartet and the Berlin Philharmonic under Hans von Bülow. Kahn was a friend of Joachim, von Bülow, Adolf Busch and Richard Mühlfeld.
His compositional style was along the lines of Mendelssohn, Schuman and Brahms and he was an admirer of Reger, whose contrapuntalism no doubt had an influence upon Kahn. He avoided large scale romantic forms, and became famed for his songs, choral works, chamber music and the huge 'Tagebuch in Tönen', (Music from the Tree of Life) a collection of solo piano works, suites for piano and Lieder that run to over 1100 pieces.
Branded 'degenerate' by the Nazis, in 1937 he left for the UK, settling in Kent and composing right up until his death. This album is a fascinating introduction to a composer that political extremism and hatred tried and failed to erase.
