Hungarian pianist and composer Stephen Heller lived and worked at the same time as Schumann. Heller’s oeuvre includes 158 opus numbers, and several unnumbered pieces, most of which are piano works. For the first time, Heller’s Notenbuch fur Klein und Gross (Op. 138) is recorded on this album, alongside his Kinderszene (Op 124). With his remarkable techniques, Heller transports the listener back into the world of childhood. Pianist Luigi Gerosa performs these pieces.
