About

Maria Garzon, the acclaimed Spanish pianist, has recorded her second and final volume of the piano sonatas of Viktor Ullmann for the Heritage label, focussing on the early sonatas and the Schoenberg Variations, Op. 3a. Maria received widespread praise for her first volume which brought the music of Ullmann to the attention of a wider group of people and has since made the composer something of a speciality in the concert hall.

Ullmann died in Aushwitz in 1944 and as Gavin Dixon says, ‘The music of Viktor Ullmann documents one of the darkest episodes in the history of humanity, yet the emotions he expresses are diverse, embracing joy and affirmation as much as sorrow and despair.’ Yet the earlier works, which were not penned in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt, display a fascinating array of musical influences from the early part of the twentieth century, most notably the second Viennese school. And it is fitting perhaps that the variations Ullmann wrote on a theme of his former teacher, Schoenberg, have been recorded to accompany the earlier sonatas.
