As You Like It – Friedrich Gulda – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Friedrich Gulda’s ‘As You Like It’ is a testament to the restless spirit of a pianist who refused to let genre boundaries define his artistry. Known for his uncompromising vision, Gulda was as comfortable with Mozart as he was with jazz improvisation, and this album finds him in a uniquely exploratory mood. Here, you’ll encounter Western Classical repertoire treated not as a museum piece but as a living, breathing conversation. Gulda’s touch is precise yet daring, his phrasing unexpectedly playful yet deeply informed by tradition. The tracklist may surprise purists and delight adventurous listeners, as familiar themes are reimagined through Gulda’s idiosyncratic lens. This album is not just a collection of performances—it’s a provocative dialogue about what classical music can become in the hands of a true original. Ideal for collectors who appreciate both technical mastery and a willingness to challenge conventions, ‘As You Like It’ stands as a vital document of 20th-century pianism. Let Gulda’s bold interpretations invite you to listen with fresh ears and reconsider your expectations of the classical canon.
