Piano Classics presents a second volume in their series of recordings by the great Italian pianist Sergio Fiorentino.

Including sessions dating back to the late fifties, this volume includes the complete first book of Années de pèlerinage (Suisse), a fine selection of Hungarian Rhapsodies, a disc of late piano pieces, both piano concertos and an assortment of studies and character pieces, rounded off by a magnificent reading of the B minor Sonata.
