Delighted to discover yesterday that Toccata Classics is embarking on a survey of Henry Litolff's piano music, with Tingyue Jiang at the keys, all in first recordings:
- 6 Opuscules, Op. 25
- 6 Arabesken, Op. 65
- Invitation à la Polka, Op. 31
- Scherzo, Op. 115
- Valse élégante, Op. 107
- Une fleur du bal, Op. 77
- La Mazurka, Op. 109
Yes this programme seems salon heavy, but here is a composer whose output in general (other than the famous piano concerto movement) has been sorely overlooked, so I will be interested to hear the musical results.

I find this very exciting news. I am a great admirer of Litolff's music and although the majority of his solo piano music is of the salon variety it is most attractive.
I say bring it on...
Splendid news! I asked Martin about this a couple of years ago.
Yes, splendid news. Any ideas when we might see the first release?
