Phillip Sear plays a short but fun waltz-caprice by the obscure Russian composer Eugène de Volborth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The composer Eugène de Volborth (or Eugen von Volborth) was born in Germany in 1854 of an aristocratic family, and studied in Russia with Anton Rubinstein. He later combined composition with being the Russian consul in Stettin. He settled in Baden-Baden, and wrote French comic operas, for which his wife wrote libretti - for example 'The Knight of Fortune' (premiered in 1899). At his home there he entertained such luminaries as Brahms, Liszt and Clara Schumann. His papers and manuscripts are held by the Royal Belgian library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
