Gerhard Frommel (1906-1984) regarded his piano sonatas as a miniature compendium
of his entire output, reflecting a fundamentally Romantic approach melded with
Stravinskian vitality. The Sixth Sonata’s poised profundity,
inventiveness and structural perfection gives it a place as one of the best in
its genre, its serene transparency lying between the powerfully heroic Fifth
Sonata and the crystalline quality of the Seventh; a summation of expression in
a work that Frommel was conscious would be his last.

As a twelve-year-old Tatjana Blome won first prize in the Steinway Competition
and a year later gave her first evening recital. In 1995 she made her debut in
the Berlin Philharmonie with Brahms’s Piano Concerto no.1. She studied
with Josef-Matthias Blome, Renate Kretschmar-Fischer, Heidrun Holtmann, Aribert
Reimann and Gerhard Oppitz. Her career has brought performances throughout
Europe, with recitals in Austria, France, Slovenia, Portugal and Russia and
appearances as a soloist with various orchestras. Tatjana Blome has recorded
over fifty works for labels including Deutsche Grammophon, EDA and Grand Piano.
