Godowsky: Complete Stu... - Emanuele Delucchi - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

This 3-CD set presents the complete Studies that Leopold Godowsky wrote on the Etudes by Chopin, as well as miscellaneous piano works, among which the mighty Passacaglia.

Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938), one of the greatest pianists in history, was fascinated by Chopin’s Etudes, and made his own enhanced transcriptions of them, to be divided in three types: a strict transcription for the left hand alone, free transcriptions, in which the text is either inverted, combined with another study or imitated through the medium of another study, and Cantus Firmus, where the left hand plays the melody and the right hand is freely treated in a contrapuntal way.

Italian pianist Emanuele Delucchi has the rare ability to conquer the immense difficulties of these works and still make music of them. His Godowsky recordings received rave reviews: “Its palette of warm colours remained intact but gained a more incisive attack, allowing Delucchi’s voicing and extraordinary digital facility to be heard at its best.
