The late, renowned Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda performs 2 Mozart Piano Sonatas. His first interpretation is of # 9, K.311 in D major followed by # 12, K.332 in F major. Gulda was most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, although he also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel.
K.311 ~ Allegro con spirito Andante con espressione Rondeau (allegro) K. 332 ~Allegro Adagio Allegro assai
I remember Friedrich Gulda well, as a classmate taught the son of Gulda in piano playing... Gulda later in his career played a lot of jazz... great jazz!
Composer: Ludwig Schuncke Artists: Tatiana Larionova
Born the same year as Robert Schumann, 1810, Ludwig Schuncke died at the tender age of 24 from tuberculosis. Thus was cruelly abbreviated the life of a pianist and composer who, had he lived on, might well have attained more of the fame accorded to Schumann himself. The two men met at a Leipzig drinking establishment in December 1833 and quickly became firm friends. Up to that point Schunke had pursued the career of a prodigal musician, including studies in Paris with Anton Reicha, even a brief meeting with Chopin.
The influence of Chopin can be heard in the reflective introduction to Schunke’s Grand Sonata, which is the largest piece in this valuable collection of his piano music, which will captivate anyone with an ear or interest for the stirrings of the 19th-century Romantic tradition of piano music. Schuncke dedicated the Sonata to Schumann, who returned the compliment with his Toccata Op.7: some indication of the mutual respect between the two men but also Schuncke’s capability as a performer. The Sonata’s brief but stormy Scherzo leaps through torrents of passagework, and the following Andante owes more to the songful German tradition than Chopin’s brand of melancholy.

Although he was from Milan, most of his professional life was spent in London and with Frederick, the Prince of Wales.
Composer: Isaac Albéniz Artist: Sebastian Stanley (piano)
This album contains the Piano Sonata Nos. 3, 4, 5 and Suite Ancienne Nos. 1, 2 by Albéniz, presented by Piano Classics, a label of Brilliant Classics.
Isaac Albéniz’ most famous work is undoubtedly his suite Iberia, a landmark of Spanish culture and the perfect example of “Españolismo”, the fusing of folkloristic elements in romantic music. Albéniz wrote seven piano sonatas during the 1880s, but only Nos. 3, 4, and 5 survive as complete works. As with so much of his output they are now better known in the form of guitar transcriptions – at least for Nos. 3 and 5 – but the piano originals show the same fantastical imagination and romantic temperament as his masterpiece Iberia, while conforming to a more conventionally Classical form. Their craftsmanship in harmony, scoring, and voice-leading are beyond reproach, but it is the lyric sweep and often playful touches of harmony that secure their place on the fringes of the repertoire.

The fabulous musicians of the 🎼Lahti Symphony Orchestra🎼 really climbed a virtual mountain to make this happen... Each of the musicians - 62 in all ! - received some written performing instructions and a click track by email from the orchestra´s artistic director / chief conductor Dima Slobodeniuk and then filmed and recorded their part at home in #quarantine. Everything was then sent to a production company, where the music was mixed and this video put together. All this was done just to bring joy and encouragement to the Finnish people - and everybody around the world - during these difficult times. So without further due, here´s our Tune For Today: a very special #Lockdown #2020 performance of
