Friedrich Gulda

Beethoven:

Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 'Appassionata'

Piano Sonata No. 28 in A major, Op. 101

Friedrich Gulda (piano)

Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester, Mario Rossi

Recording: Saal 1, Funkhaus, Cologne, 25 February 1957 & Saal 2, Funkhaus, Cologne, 22 February 1957

The two Beethoven piano sonatas precede his Decca recordings of the same works. Jeremy Siepmann in his notes says, “One of the things that most impresses here is the sheer wholeness of the playing. Outstanding examples include all of Op. 101. Nor by any means is the Appassionata to be sniffed at, though unlike some, Gulda makes a clear distinction between passion and hysterics.”
