Undaunted by their difficult fates and journeys, five Jewish refugee composers in Los Angeles - Castelnuovo-Tedesco from Italy, and Korngold, Schoenberg, Toch and Zeisl from Austria - produced a wealth of piano repertoire. In this survey of these long neglected works, Eric Le Van introduces listeners to unusual music that has rarely if ever seen the light of day and deserves far greater attention. All but the Schoenberg piece are world premiere recordings.
