This is the first recording devoted exclusively to the delightfully enjoyable solo works of Henri Herz. The Variations on 'Non più mesta' from Rossini's La Cenerentola Op 60 is Herz's best-known work. Several composers were attracted to the show-stopping aria sung by Rossini's eponymous heroine, and Herz's response is as dazzling and witty as the original, demanding pyrotechnical displays of agility from the pianist-here the brilliant and accomplished Philip Martin.
