We now have another release from Monument Records posted on our website, complete with track listings. This time around, its a collection of "military" piano music by Beethoven.Some of these selections, such as the March from "The Ruins of Athens" may be familiar, but many will not. In addition to Beethoven's variations on "Rule Britannia" and "God Save the King," there are several world premiere recordings mixed into this recital.
A very interesting collection, and one that shows how the times colors the arts -- many of these works were written during the Napoleonic Wars.
