About

This final volume of ‘The Matthay Pupils’ presents most of his remaining students who left recordings, as well as the few discs Matthay himself made. Of particular interest is a selection from the almost unknown AFMC label which was affiliated to Matthay's school and featured many of its staff. Also included are recently discovered unpublished Irene Scharrer recordings which add considerably to her discography.

Awards and reviews

August 2014

[the Two-Part Inventions] are given with an immaculate dexterity that never ignores a still centre at the heart of so much teeming vitality. Irene Scharrer...shows herself a scintillating virtuoso who should never have slipped from view...Overall these records provide an invaluable and fascinating glimpse into the past.
