"Danish composer J.P.E. Hartmann was the leading romantic Danish composer who influenced generations of Danish composers, not least Niels W. Gade and the son Emil Hartmann. He was a prolific composer and composed in all genres. His extensive music for piano is sadly too little known outside Denmark, but with its romantic tone, melodic charme and harmonies known from Schumann and Mendelssohn it will come as a pleasant surprise to all lovers of romantic music for piano. Danish pianist Thomas Trondhjem is here presenting the first of a complete recording of all the works for solo piano by J.P.E. Hartmann. Volume 2 to be released late Autumn 2020."

Yeah I saw this. Interestingly there's no overlap with a previous piano disc (the only one I know of) on Dacapo.
This one is very much on my radar.

Honestly I'm not really feeling either volume. I do enjoy the piano works disc I already have (and there seems to only be only shared work between that and the new discs, Op. 50) but I dunno, nothing too stand out otherwise on these.
