CD Reviews

GG and the NEW VIENNESE SCHOOL...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 09/03/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

".

It may surprize some audiophiles, but GG wasn't just the Bach specialist: he was also the Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, and Hindemith specialist; moreover, he was a lifelong advocate of the Second Viennese School--especially Schoenberg.

GG recorded nearly all Schoenberg's works for keyboard. Pieces like the Op. 25 Suite for Piano, and the Op. 11 Piano Pieces, were staples of his repetoire. Too, the Berg Piano Sonata ("Op. 1") was one of GG's favorite works.

Plus, Schoenberg's Piano Concerto (Op. 42) is doubtless THE FINEST piano concerto written in the 20th Century.

This disc of rare early Gould is worth having for his remarkable timing and miraculous digital ability.
