Johannes Cernota - Sparta (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1988)

Johannes Cernota – Sparta was released in 1988 and recorded in February of that year. The pianist moves between contemporary classical and jazz – sometimes playful, sometimes reflective, in pieces like "Menelos (King Of Sparta)", "Petite Ouverture À Danser" or "For Elena". A quiet, refined discovery for lovers of sophisticated piano music.

On offer is the German original pressing from 1988 (LP Jaro 04136), with insert.
