  • World Premiere Recording of the „Poem“-Cycle of the German composer Thomas Larcher

  • Lars Vogt is one of the leading world class Pianists

  • “…for children” is a collection of Piano Pieces composed for children by Larcher, Robert Schumann and Béla Bartók, to listen and possibly to play them

Lars Vogt always had great fun with pieces that managed to say a lot with few notes, as opposed to those that use many notes to say very little. He often didn't feel attracted to truly virtuosic repertoire - unless it was a 'stroke of genius' such as Liszt's Sonata in B Minor. The athletic aspect of piano playing held very little appeal to him, instead, he prefers a profound message and music that moves the soul. The pieces on this album are for adutls and children alike to play and listen to. Each of these gems contains such a rich variety of poetry, exuberance and expression. This release is intended to provide children with a version of this music played by someone who has cultivated a lifelong love of music in his profession.
