Review:

While seldom heard today, Richard Wagner's assistant and musical disciple, Josef Rubinstein, made several alternate versions of the composer’s Siegfried Idyll, originally written for chamber orchestra as a birthday present for Cosima, Wagner’s wife. They include one for solo piano, featured on this album. The Boston-based pianist David Deveau gives a gorgeous and sensitive reading of that piece, along with short works by Brahms and Liszt on this release.
