CD ReviewsGG's Final Recording Session... Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 12/29/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) ".
Held just one month before his untimely death, this was Gould's last recording session (2 Sept. 1982). Richard Strauss--along with Bach, Schönberg, and Hindemith--really spoke to Gould's own personal ethos and aesthetic: lushly late-Romantic but clearly composed with clean lines. Strauss did not compose much solo piano music, but Gould plays these Mendelssohn-, Schumann-, and Brahms-influenced early salon pieces for all they're worth. The b-minor Sonata is quite a bravura showpiece with ideomatic piano writing and an octave-dashing finale guaranteed to thrill. Adieu, bel homme! ." |
