'The recorded sound has all the freshness needed for this music' (Pianist).
'Seta Tanyel plays her well-contrasted selection with obvious affection and persuasive charm … playing of outstanding drive and verve' (International Record Review).

Hyperion's series of the solo piano music of Xaver Scharwenka (reissued from Collins), played by Seta Tanyel, is worth getting to know for everyone who appreciates romantic piano music. It reveals Scharwenka as a deft craftsman with plenty of good ideas and deep knowledge of how to utilize the potential of his instrument to full effect. Volume 1, however, is far from the strongest installment in the series, and if you started with this one, were disappointed and decided to stop investigating, I encourage you to reconsider - volume 2, for instance, is definitely superior (though Scharwenka's concertos and chamber works are superior still).

The first piano sonata in c sharp minor is an early work (1872) and is thoroughly indebted to the music of Schumann and Chopin, though fully lacking the memorability or level of inspiration of the models. None of the ideas strike one as particularly worth using for anything - though when that is said, Scharwenka's skill at writing idiomatically for the piano and make the most of what he had to work with ultimately makes the work modestly enjoyable. The Five Polish Dances are light but contain some good ideas - I guess most potential listeners know what they will get, and they will probably not be disappointed, though I must say that Scharwenka's later works in the same genre strike me as superior. The five free-standing pieces that fill out the disc are forgettable salon works (the best being, in my mind, the rather attractive Impromptu op.17).

Tanyel's playing also strikes me as somewhat less sensitive and colorful than later in the series. It is probably not entirely her fault that the sonata comes across as slightly wearisome at times given the incessant hammering energy (to cover up for a dearth of real ideas, one suspects), but nor does she help it in the way one suspects could be possible. There is even a certain harshness to the sound when the textures get denser, especially in faster passages, which suggests that her response to some of the music's more virtuosic challenges would have, shall we say, benefited from an extra take in the studio. Overall, then, I have to judge this disc as something of a specialist's release, but will emphasize that the later installments in the series are more than that and are, in fact, recommended to anyone with a modicum of interest in romantic piano music.
