Our Take

Get ready for a wild ride, because Wilhelm Backhaus Recitals is a rollercoaster of musical genius that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about classical piano. Various artists come together to pay homage to the legendary pianist Wilhelm Backhaus, and boy do they deliver.

The album kicks off with Backhaus's iconic performance of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 "Appassionata." Backhaus's masterful touch and emotional depth shine through, setting the tone for what's to come.

But it's not all serious business on this record. Tracks like Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 bring a sense of joy and playfulness to the mix. The artists on this album know how to have fun with their music, and it's infectious.

One standout moment on the album is Backhaus's interpretation of Schumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15. His delicate touch and subtle phrasing create a dreamlike atmosphere that transports the listener to another world.

Overall, Wilhelm Backhaus Recitals is a must-listen for any classical music lover. It's a celebration of one of the greatest pianists of all time, brought to life by a talented group of artists. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music wash over you. You won't regret it.
