Phillip Sear plays a haunting barcarolle by the German composer Erik Meyer-Helmund (1861-1932). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #3 from 'Liebeslieder ohne Worte' (Love songs without words) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The German composer Erik Meyer-Helmund (1861-1932) was actually born in St. Petersburg, but studied in Berlin and achieved fame for his five operas and over 200 songs. He also wrote some piano and organ music. He seems to have had some popularity in the USA, and was performing in Ohio in 1895, but this work from 1913 (without opus number) was published in Berlin. Although the opening of the piece is quite generic, Meyer-Helmund introduces some beautiful harmonies in the middle section, which really evoke a world that was just about to vanish. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
