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 pianist’s irreverent genius and boundary-pushing vision. Known for his virtuosic command of the classical repertoire, Gulda was never content to play it straight. This album finds him at his most daring—boldly weaving improvisation, jazz inflections, and unexpected tonalities into pieces that might otherwise be confined by tradition. Each track is a testament to Gulda’s belief that classical music should be as alive and unpredictable as jazz, inviting the listener into a space where nothing is off-limits and every phrase feels freshly minted.

For collectors and listeners alike, ‘As You Like It’ stands as a snapshot of a restless artist refusing to be boxed in. Gulda’s playful yet profound approach challenges preconceptions about what Western Classical music can be, making this album essential for anyone eager to experience the piano in new, exhilarating contexts. This is not just a recording, but a manifesto—one that rewards the adventurous ear and reaffirms Gulda’s place among the 20th century’s most innovative pianists.
