About
The third release (in a series of seven CDs) continues Toccata Classics’ pioneering releases of music by Baltic, and especially Estonian, composers.
Heino Eller (1887–1970) was one of the founding fathers of Estonian music – the best- known of his students is Arvo Pärt.
His huge output of piano music encompasses some 200 works, almost none of which have been recorded before – this CD includes nine first recordings and two first digital recordings. The music on this CD ranges from charming romantic miniatures and virtuoso showpieces to expressionist preludes and quirky folk-pieces. The main item is his 1939 Theme and Variations – one of his best works for piano, but not published or recorded before now.
