Busoni: Piano Music, V... - Wolf Harden - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The final volume in this acclaimed series of Busoni’s piano music focuses on beginnings and endings. Earlyworks and transcriptions are featured, plus a substantial body of music that Busoni wrote for his multivolumeKlavierübung (‘Piano Exercise’). The early miniatures are teasing and witty but also inventiveexamples of his mastery of Bachian procedure. The excerpts from Klavierübung, in which he uses his ownmusic and that of others, embody the full breadth of his creative vision. They make a fitting end to this seriesperformed by Wolf Harden, whose playing of Busoni has been described as ‘the clear current benchmark’(BBC Music Magazine on Volume 2, 8.555699).
