About this product
Busoni embodied an essentially recreative approach to the music of the past. His Bach transcriptions reveal an absolute command of intricate polyphony and a limpid clarity. Mozart stood as an aesthetic and technical exemplar while Cramer's little-known Etudes are adapted for modern piano technique. Busoni preserved the Lutheran austerity of Brahms's Chorale Preludes for Organ, Op. 122 whereas in the Mephisto Waltz No. 1 he augments Liszt's heady writing with a super-virtuosity of his own. Wolf Harden I one of the most versatile pianists of his generation. He has enjoyed great success in the Trio Fontenay, an ensemble that he founded in 1980 and with which he has toured to all the world's major music centres. Harden devotes himself not only to chamber music but, with the same success, to the solo piano repertoire.

Lullabies of my sorrowInch, that is how Brahms described his short pieces for piano, the intermezzi, capriccii, Klavierstücke and others. In the small form he expresses his deepest musical thoughts, full of tenderness and melancholy. A new recording with Norwegian pianist Håkon Austbø, who shows his deep insight into this complex music. Austbø already revealed his great artistry in his recordings of Erik Satie and of the complete Lyrische Stücke of Edvard Grieg, which received rave reviews.
