When Glenn Gould performed his last public piano recital in Los Angeles on April 10, 1964, he included Ernst Krenek´s Piano Sonata No. 3 - alongside works of Bach. This is a clear indication of Krenek´s significance as a twentieth-century composer.
This new CD by OehmsClassics also presents Krenek´s seven-part cycle Echoes from Austria - an homage to the homeland which drove him out and in which he is still underrated today.
