Our Take

WALTER GIESEKING - Great Pianists

If you've ever wanted to transport yourself to a 1930s Parisian salon, then Walter Gieseking's latest album is the perfect soundtrack for you. This legendary pianist's delicate touch and masterful technique are on full display in this collection of classical gems.

From the playful runs of Debussy's "Clair de Lune" to the haunting melodies of Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte," Gieseking's interpretations are both precise and full of emotion. His fingers dance across the keys with an effortless grace that is truly mesmerizing.

One standout track is his rendition of Schumann's "Kinderszenen," where Gieseking brings a childlike wonder and whimsy to the piece. It's as if he's letting us peek into the fantastical world of a young dreamer, with each note painting a vivid picture in our minds.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Gieseking also delves into darker territory with the brooding intensity of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." His performance is a masterclass in building tension and creating a sense of drama that lingers long after the final chord has faded away.

Overall, Walter Gieseking's "Great Pianists" is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast. His virtuosic playing and unparalleled artistry make this album a true gem in the world of piano music. Grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Gieseking's playing. You won't be disappointed.
