American Record Guide

History is full of ‘what ifs…’ and they don’t come much more intriguing that the German composer Rudi Stephan, whose short life ended in 1915 in the trenches of Galicia. He was the most important composer to take up the baton from Reger and would have been a major figure in inter-war music. The three works here, brilliantly recorded, represent almost his total extant output. Well worth investigating.
