ThomasDeHartmann

The Thomas de Hartmann Project aims to get the music of de Hartmann out into the world.  De Hartmann was a Russian composer active during the first half of the 20th century who's work is remarkable due to its unique sound world.  Although his music was too diverse and divergent to gain broad recognition during his life, shifts in culture have opened the door to the time of the possible blossoming of his phenomenal works.

Pianist Elan Sicroff heads up this project.  Sicroff has already recorded three albums of de Hartman's works for solo piano.  At this stage, Sicroff [from the US] is collaborating with musicians and a producer [Gert-Jan Blom, Artistic Director of the Metropole Orchestra] in the Netherlands to put out a box set of a some of de Hartmann's work with an estimated release date of sometime in 2014.
