Description: World premiere recording of the three-minute Notturno, an 1896 work which predates Verklärte Nacht and firmly in late Romantic style. There is no other recording available of his 1929 Bach transcription, in which he adds his own fill-in parts which help make the individual voices of the fugue stand out more precisely. German texts. Beethoven Orchestra Bonn; Stefan Blunier. SACD hybrid
