Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] Born in Vienna in 1930, Friedrich Gulda's talent as a classical pianist was recognized early on, including winning the Geneva International Competition at the age of 16. He was known as one of the "Three Viennese Pianists" along with J?rg Demus and Paul Padura-Skoda. Gulda, who also worked as a jazz pianist and composer, had a free and unconventional musicality that can be fully heard in the Mozart Piano Concerto included on this album. Abbado and the Vienna Philharmonic respond sensitively to Gulda's playing, developing a free-flowing performance that is far from predictable.
