Christ-Naoko Kato - Rosy Wertheim's Wondrous Worlds [CD]

Pianist Naoko Christ-Kato is dedicated to bringing to light the works of forgotten and persecuted Jewish composers. On her new GENUIN album, she now presents music by the Dutchwoman Rosy Wertheim - a rediscovery of delicate, multi-layered sounds that have been forgotten for far too long. The musical arc extends from the charming Sonatina, through imaginative character pieces, to the large-scale "Variations on a Theme by Cesar Franck". With refined and committed playing, Naoko Christ-Kato compellingly brings this music - so deserving of being heard - to the public's awareness.
