Adolph von Henselt: 12 Études caracteristiques, Op. 2 - for piano

[jasjjb]

Many thanks to you 4candles for posting some of these beautiful pieces / etudes.

von Henselt has been a new discovery for me since finding his PianoConcerto yesterday ( by Hamelin). Searching for more I found your playlist with 6 of these lovely Etudes. - superb !! Any chance of posting the other 6 also ? Many thanks again. !

@jasjjb I'm glad you like these pieces. The Concerto is a very very difficult work!

Rather than post more of the Etudes, I would be more inclined to point you towards the recording by Michael Ponti, but the most valuable recording at the moment for me is the one by Piers Lane on the Hyperion label, which not only includes the Op. 2 Etudes, but also the 'Etudes de Salon', Op. 5! Pianist Rudiger Steinfatt has also recorded some works by Henselt.

Happy hunting!

ahh, i didn't know Henselt was so exciting!

@Sorcerer88 His Etudes and concertante works for piano (including the infamous piano concerto) are probably the most exciting works he wrote, but I'm sure someone more qualified could give you a better idea. Thanks for your comment.
