Pianist Naoko Christ-Kato is dedicated to bringing to light the works of forgotten and persecuted Jewish composers. On her new GENUIN album, she now presents music by the Dutchwoman Rosy Wertheim – a rediscovery of delicate, multi-layered sounds that have been forgotten for far too long. The musical arc extends from the charming Sonatina, through imaginative character pieces, to the large-scale_button „Variations on a Theme by César Franck“. With refined and committed playing, Naoko Christ-Kato compellingly brings this music – so deserving of being heard – to the public’s awareness.
