Born in Lyon, pianist Walter Gieseking studied the piano in Hanover and soon
embarked on a world career as a soloist – first in Europe, then in the
USA. He was an acknowledged master of the French repertoire – his
recordings of piano works by Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy are legendary.
Giesekings style of playing was formulated by not only his accuracy and gift of
observation, but also his exposure to various European cultures, and awareness
of widely differing musical forms, which was reflected in a very wide repertoire
extending beyond the classics to composers then less well known, such as
Hindemith, Schoenberg, Busoni and Szymanowski. His piano technique revealed a
hitherto unknown lightness. Gieseking translated feelings effortlessly into
physical movement, resulting in a unique emotional immediacy of sound. The
combination of precision and such unbridled devotion again proved its worth in
Walter Giesekings recording of Mozart’s piano works, music which demands
the highest technical ability alongside an essential lightness in its acoustic.
The present complete recording illustrates why Walter Gieseking must necessarily
be considered one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century.
