CD Reviews

Classic Beethoven

John Atherton | CINCINNATI, OHIO United States | 09/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gulda's piano seems to animate itself in a way that might have delighted Toscanini, who praised performances that let him feel he was reading the score.

Yet Gulda was no pedant. Beethoven's warmth remains, but it is the warmth of blood corsing through the music, rather than of some overheated actor.

Gulda's poised but propulsive playing included almost no rubato, instead achieving its expressive effects through exquisite dynamic gradations and weighting of chords.

This is not the only way to play Beethoven. Anton Schindler wrote that it was not Beethoven's way. Gulda forsakes rhetoric. Still there is something tremendously right about these performances, especially those of the "Waldstein" and of Op. 111, which Gulda allows to expand by its own laws into the infinite.

The great German critic Joachim Kaiser ranked Gulda along with Gould as the (troubled) geniuses of their generation. These recordings show you why."
