In those days (before 1920 or so), Joachim Raff was considered one of the greatest, most famous composers of all time. It wasn't necessarily that Pachmann had a soft spot for him, it's that in those days, he was bigger than Mahler, about as big as Brahms, and so on. I consider Raff one of the greatest composers ever to this day, and I religiously buy his music.
Thank you for sharing this historically-valuable recording!
I would love to have lived back in those days with such musical greats!

Jolie pièce(Liszt admirait Raff)...Et exemplairement jouée!!! Un modèle de rigueur et de poésie.
