Paris in the early 1830s. At the centre of an evening gathering at the elegant salon of the Polish Countess Plater were, once again, three young musicians: the brilliant pianists and much-admired composers Frédéric Chopin, Ferdinand Hiller and Franz Liszt. Tobias Koch reunites the three friends with his recording "Trois amis à Paris", meanwhile CD number eight on the GENUIN label. In doing so, as always, Tobias Koch has embarked on an expedition and now has a world premiere recording to offer as well: the Rhythmic Studies, Op. 52 of Ferdinand Hiller. A must for lovers of piano music...
