Founded in 1987 the annual Rarities of Piano Music Festival in the North German town of Husum is a major event. Danacord is proud to release the recording from the extra festival from 3-5 June 2022.

Due to Covid-19 the planned 2020 festival had to be cancelled and an extra short three day festival came in June this year. As a theme the music was all around Alkan. Listen to Marc-André Hamelin, Artur Pizzaro, Clare Hammond and other fine pianists performing rare piano music. All lovers of piano music will want this release, not only because of the first class pianism from truly outstanding performers, but also because the quality of the often unknown and rare romantic piano music is of such invaluable substance. Critics greeted all previous CD releases with enthusiasm.
