About
Amanda Maier (1853-1894) and Julius Rontgen (1855-1932) were a couple in both music and love. This new album includes world premiere recordings of Amanda Maier’s preludes, Julius Rontgen’s piano suite “Julklapp” (Christmas Gift), and the piano suite “Zwiegesprache” (Dialogues), that the young couple composed together. In addition to this, you also get Rontgen’s brilliant variation work “Neckens Polska,” which he dedicated to his future bride. This release is charming, beautiful, and highly romantic music at its best, performed by one of Sweden’s most outstanding musicians: the award-winning pianist Bengt Forsberg.

The short works in this eminently listenable programme are somewhat in the vein of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, the language approachable, the melodic twists gently Nordic…Maier’s language in her Preludes is harmonically more restless than Röntgen’s…Their similiarity, though, is strong enough for Forsberg to play a game with us: in the Zweigespräche pieces, with five by Amanda and five by Julius, he does not reveal which is whose.
