Siegfried Borris (1906 - 1987)
Siegfried Borris was born in Berlin as the son of a Russian Jew who had converted to Catholicism. From 1927 he was a pupil of Hindemith, and from his master he got both a jolly side, and a positive attitude towards craftsmanship and Gebrauchsmusik (‘utility music’). A very prolific composer, he liked to produce for varied instrumental combinations (accordions, mandolin orchestras, Alphorn, etc.).
Grand Piano has gained a reputation for producing high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. Dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire, the label specialises in complete cycles of piano works by many lesser-known composers, whose output might otherwise have remained unknown and unrecorded.
