Description:

When one thinks of Sibelius, orchestral works usually come to mind first, but his early Piano Quintetpartially premiered in 1890 by a star-studded lineup featuring Halvorsen on violin and Busoni on pianois a powerful, bold, and underappreciated masterpiece. He also left behind numerous piano works brimming with Nordic clarity and lyricism, offering a glimpse of a side of him distinct from his symphonies. Pianist Anika Troitler, born in 1990, is a rising star who carries on the tradition of orthodox German pianism, having studied in Rostock and Hanover.Tokyo M-Plus
