This CD presents three of Richard Strauss earliest compositions. They clearly show the stylistic relationship between the great German masters of the piano miniature and the sonata and Richard Strauss - in the manner of constructing the pieces, of fusing the melodies, in the wealth of harmonic and metro-rhythmic ideas. The pianist underlines both the classical clarity of the four-part sonata and the romantic dreams and aspirations contained the exquisite programme pieces from opus 9. Ludmil ANGELOV, who has been formed as a brilliant interpreter of the romantic style, recreates with great mastery and much poetry the rich imagery of Richard Strauss, fills with mood and various nuances the works demonstrating their beauty and the spontaneity of feelings of the young Strauss. The recordings give an opportunity for each music lover to come to know better Richard Strauss' works from the early 80s of the 19th century, the time of matriculation and study, of getting ready for the great music he was to create in the decades that followed.
