Description: Thanks to the inability of Electrecord to thrive in the post-Communist era, it may be that only Albania suffers more than Romania in terms of its classical music heritage on disc, making this combination of two historical viola/piano (the major work on the disc being Jora's dark-hued, intensely lyrical sonata of 1951) and brand-new solo piano recordings a small but valuable gift to collectors. Lory Wallfisch (piano - new recordings).
