Il est absolument sans raison que Stephen Heller vit dans l'ombre de leçons de vie et de piano de concert, même si le pianiste, né à Budapest en 1813 et mort à Paris en 1888, parmi les grands virtuoses de son temps et savait Chopin, Liszt et Berlioz. Nos éditions nouvellement gravées des deux ballades en si mineur et ré mineur vous invitent à une rencontre avec le travail par cette romantique dont le 200e anniversaire sera célébré par le monde musical en 2013. Les deux ballades d'un mouvement ne conviennent pas pour les concerts et les leçons de musique, démontrant sa capacité comme un maître de la forme de petit. / Piano

Amon g Rheinberger's three choral ballads for men's choir and orchestra contained in this volume, Das Tal des Espingo op. 50 deserves especially to be rediscovered. The work is based on a ballad by the poet Paul Heyse which describes, in vivid verses, how an army of Moors are reminded of their home during a trek through the Pyrenees when, just at this moment, they fall prey to an ambush by the Basques. In its original form Das Tal des Espingo was a work for men's choir a cappella. This version has been published for the first time in the appendix of volume 17.

After touring Europe from Lisbon to St. Petersburg in the 1840s, Ferenc Liszt settled in Weimar. He abandoned his position as a celebrated virtuoso and took up the post of court Kapellmeister there. Ballade No. 2 is also from the output of this period. Composed together with the Sonata in B Minor and in the same key, to the discerning listener this work reveals the influence of Schubert and Chopin. Intriguingly, the work seems to have progressed along the same path as the composer himself: initially, it concluded with a sensational and thunderous finale, while the definitive version ends with quiet lyricism. This duality can easily be studied in this edition, which includes bothversions. This revised (2018) edition is raised to the level of academic thoroughness by a new editor s preface, a facsimile, and full critical notes.

Karl Straube wrote to Rheinberger about his penultimate Organ Sonata, published in 1899: Your 19th Sonata made a tremendous impression on my audience. The first ballade-like movement in particular was greatly admired by the public. In the middle movement, marked Provencalisch, Rheinberger used a theme by Machaut, whilst the third movement, with its somber improvisatory-like introduction, is very convincing.
