Pianist Ivan Ilić is something of a specialist in obscure music, and that of composer Joseph Jongen certainly qualifies. His works are known mostly to organists. The piano preludes heard here perhaps reflect that background, with dense, contrapuntal textures. In sets of pieces written in 1922 and 1940 (the 24 Préludes), Jongen turns to the venerable form of the prelude. The set of 24 Petits Préludes dans tous les tons ("24 Little Preludes in All the Keys") is an attractive group that would make a good comparison with the similar set by Shostakovich. Jongen's pieces incorporate Impressionist and post-Impressionist harmonies into a tonal framework within a severely restricted space; most of the preludes are between one and two minutes in length. The earlier set of 13 Preludes, Op. 69, are pictorial or have other evocative titles; they are less economical but still enjoyable. Ilić delivers understated performances that present Jongen in the best light. Chandos' sound from Potton Hall in Suffolk is admirably clear and perfectly idiomatic.
