Svend Erik Tarp (1908-94) was one of a group of Danish composers who were more inspired by the French than by the German musical culture that was otherwise predominant in his time. On this CD one can hear Tonya Lemoh's vital interpretation of piano music ranging from the compser's youth in the 1920s to 1956, when Tarp was at the height of his career. It is music of great seriousness but also great expressiveness, with a wealth of lyrical passages, infectious rhythms and captivating melodies.
