Eclipse

There is so much music in the world. Some, like Bach or Mozart, you hear often. Other brilliant composers slip through the cracks, for reasons that often have nothing to do with their music. Their music raises questions like "Why have I never heard this before?" and "What other treasures are waiting to be discovered?". The circumstances that lead to some composers being recognized as geniuses and others being completely forgotten, I find endlessly fascinating. I spend a lot of time searching for music on the brink of oblivion. The internet is a great source of material and once you become known as a pianist interested in unusual repertoire, the music starts finding you. People from my personal network regularly send me things and even complete strangers approach me with music they think might be of some value. Over the years, I have discovered a large number of pieces by composers that even the biggest music enthusiasts have never heard of – like a musical treasure hunt. Some of these hidden gems I found so valuable that I wanted to record them. This has resulted in the Eclipse project.
