Camillo Schumann Horn Sonatas

[Martin Eastick]

This release, from the end of 2019, seems to have passed me by somehow. Everything I have so far heard by this younger brother of Georg Schumann has been most enjoyable - very melodic and certainly very conservative - especially so when still composing in the 1930's. Until recently, he was only really known, if at all, for his organ sonatas, but his quite considerable output consists mainly of chamber music, much of it still unpublished, but,regrettably, not much for orchestra. I am also looking forward very much to receiving my copy of the just-released clarinet sonatas 1 & 2 by CPO!https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/camillo-schumann-sonaten-fuer-horn-klavier-nr-1-2/hnum/9572535

Wow - I'd missed this too!
