Hanns Eisler - Oeuvres Pour Piano - Christoph Keller

Hanns Eisler became interested in piano music mainly after his studies with Arnold Schönberg, and again druing his exile in the USA. Four of the pieces recorded here date from 1923 - 25, and the other two respectively from 1941 and 1943.

The pianist Christoph Keller from Zürich has played a number of times Eislers piano compositions in concert, analysed them in articles and has given several talks on the work.
Within the context of a complete execution of Eisler´s piano music at the Festival "Musiktage der DDR 1988" he performed for the first time a few posthumous pieces.

The six works presented here were all recorded anew, including the ones already published in 1983 under the label ACCORD. The same firm has also recorded two albums with Eisler´s complete chamber music played by the Zürich Chamber Ensemble under Christioph Keller.

The album was recorded in Zürich January 19 - 21 1989.
