The Röntgen Research, Record & Publish Project
This page is dedicated to a long-term project, begun in 2014, that includes recording, editing and publishing the piano music of the German-born Dutch composer Julius Röntgen (1855-1932). I am deeply thankful to Nimbus Records and Nimbus Music Publishing (UK) for their tremendous support in making this project a reality.

March 2019
Röntgen 4 arrived! Visit New Releases section of Nimbus Records for details.
January 2019
Röntgen 4 arrived on my doorstep in Vancouver. This CD was officially released on March 1st, 2019. It can be ordered on Amazon or Apple’s iTunes.
Röntgen 4 is particularly satisfying because of the inclusion of a previously unpublished work, the Sonata in C-sharp Minor (1928). I have worked closely with Felicia Hartono, a graduate student at UBC – who is exceptionally skilled with Sibelius notation software – and Nimbus Publishing to be able to offer this score in a clean and modern edition with my own editing and commentary. Also on the disc are the three extant Ballads, some shorter and very charming and exotic works and the large-scale Variations and Fugue in F Minor, Op.38.
June 2018
I have just returned from two days of very gratifying work in the Nimbus Concert Hall recording the fourth CD of Julius Röntgen’s solo piano music. This disc includes an unpublished work – Sonata in C-sharp Minor (1928) – that will be made available in a new beautiful edition published by Nimbus Music Publishing. Links and more information will be made available when this project nears completion.
August 2017
My third CD of Julius Röntgen’s solo piano has been released. I have authored the liner notes and of special interest is the inclusion of a work never before published until now. Visit Nimbus Music Publishing online to order the Sonata in A Minor (1898)
June 2016
The second CD of Julius Röntgen’s piano music has been received with great enthusiasm by the critics, the Röntgen family and cherished musical colleagues. I am proud of the result and, as usual, the overall sound that Nimbus Records achieves in the recording process. Adrian Farmer is the best colleague and producer anyone artist could hope to work with and I am truly thankful to him and everyone at Nimbus.
December 2015
My second CD of Röntgen’s piano music will be released in early 2016. I have just completed the CD liner notes and sent them off to Nimbus. Looking forward to the finished product!
February 2015
My professional life with the solo piano music of Julius Röntgen has begun; the first CD was released this week on Nimbus Records (http://www.wyastone.co.uk/julius-rontgen-piano-music-vol-1.html). This is a long-term project that includes learning, performing, recording, editing and discussing the Röntgen’s piano music. I am thankful to people at the University of British Columbia, the Röntgen Family and Adrian Farmer at Nimbus Records for being equally supportive of this project. I expect this to be a rewarding project on many levels and am enjoying getting to know Röntgen’s music immensely.
