Lars Vogt always had great fun with pieces that managed to say a lot with few notes, as opposed to those that use many notes to say very little. He often didn't feel attracted to truly virtuosic repertoire - unless it was a "stroke of genius" such as Liszt's Sonata in B Minor. The athletic aspect of piano playing held very little appeal to him, instead, he prefers a profound message and music that moves the soul. The pieces on this album are for adutls and children alike to play and listen to. Each of these gems contains such a rich variety of poetry, exuberance and expression. This release is intended to provide children with a version of this music played by someone who has cultivated a lifelong love of music in his profession.
