About

"Keyboard cookbook, tuneful dishes and original music" (Piano News).
 
Stefan Irmer is now serving the seventh course of his culinary presentation of all the piano works of Gioacchino Rossini. The latest recording features "scales and practice pieces" from the péchés de viellesse of the ageing composer, who spent his last years in Paris.
 
These "sins of old age" were ironic little salon compositions written for his own pleasure, but they are sure to entertain present-day listeners too, especially when they are offered up with such brilliance as is commanded by this exceptional pianist. The gammes et spécimens, have a special place in Rossini’s oeuvre - they establish links to ancient and modern music and also suggest the music of the future.
