WALTER GIESEKING
BEETHOVEN
Piano Sonatas Nos 20, 21, 23, 28, 30
Walter Gieseking - piano
Historical Recordings 1938-1940
Reissue Producer and Audio Restoration Engineer: Ward Marston
Hailed as ‘the new Anton Rubinstein’ early in his career, Walter Gieseking sought to convey all the excitement and drama in Beethoven’s piano sonatas.
This 1939 recording of the Waldstein Sonata was described in Gramophone as ‘distinguished by an amazing range of tone-colour, a never failing sensitiveness to the demands of the music, and tremendously vital rhythm.’ The ‘Appassionata’ was received in America as ‘a superb recording that conveys the most subtle nuances as well as emotional vigour’, and the Sonata Op. 101 as ‘one of the finest interpretations and recording... the work emerges with a balance and clarity that could not be improved upon.’
Our series of recordings by Walter Gieseking reaches a high point with Vol. 5. This series of Beethoven sonatas recorded between 1938-1940 is less well-known than the 1950s HMV versions, though not entirely unknown on CD. Our price to re-mastering quality track record in this material remains unsurpassed however, and collectors will be making a bee-line for this release.
