They are great recordings and the music is very well worth getting to know. The relative absence of Eller's music on CD has been quite inexplicable until now. Thanks TC!

Vol III is out, and awesome! There seem to be some tracks on here that PP does not have the scores posted yet...they have hinted that the printing arm of the Toccata is supposed to release new editions of the works, perhaps once they finish getting the recordings out we will get the scores? Anyone have any info to add? Perhaps a score or two we missed that are represented here we can post in the meantime?
"...copious output for piano – some 200 works – is largely unknown, an omission this series of seven CDs seeks to redress. The central works of Volume Three are the Ten Lyric Pieces, mirroring the tragic loss of Eller’s Jewish wife, murdered during the Nazi occupation, and Fourth Sonata, a late masterpiece that sums up a life’s work.
The three Studies here offer a glimpse of Eller’s early virtuosic pursuits, and the five Preludes showcase his endeavours in an expressionist idiom. .."
stream tracks and you can DL the PDF of the liner notes directly from them here
