Johanna Senfter: Works for Violin

Johanna Senfter, one of Max Reger’s favorite students, is one of the most prolific female composers of the 20th century, having written more than 130 vocal and instrumental works. Nowadays, however, her music is nearly forgotten. Violinists Friedemann and Alexia Eichhorn, together with pianist Paul Rivinius, have recorded some of her violin works for a double CD, which is now published as a co-production between Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) and paladino music. These four world premiere recordings present music that deserves a wide audience.
