von Zemlinsky's Cello sonata, premiered in Vienna on April 23, 1894, with the composer at the piano and cellist Friedrich Buxbaum, to whom it was dedicated. Buxbaum, who always kept the sheet music with him, escaped from the Nazis to London. The sheet music was eventually handed over by his grandson Martin Buxbaum to the publicist Fritz Spiegl, and after Spiegl's death the manuscript was found by the Alexander Zemlinsky Fund in Vienna. World Première Recording.
Johannes Moser, cello and Paul Rivinius, piano.
