Emil Gilels

Gilels is widely regarded as one of the most significant pianists of the twentieth century and is universally admired for his superb technical control and burnished tone. His interpretations of the central German-Austrian classics formed the core of his repertoire, in particular Beethoven, Brahms, and Schumann; but he was equally illuminative with Scarlatti, Bach, as well as with twentieth-century music like Debussy, Bartók, and Prokofiev. His Liszt was also first-class, and his recordings of the Hungarian Rhapsody no 6 and the Sonata in B minor have acquired classic status in some circles.

“Richter's majestic peer is filmed at the height of his powers in an ornate Austrian church with only the occasional distracting shot of his face in the Steinway lid to mar the concentration of his spacious Mozart and Beethoven.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 *****
