About

In the 1950s, the Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda (1930-2000) was considered the leading interpreter of the classical masters of his generation, notably Beethoven and Mozart. In the mid 50s, he became more immersed in jazz, which rather masked his true genius playing the Viennese classics. Gulda’s recordings are now beginning to enjoy cult status amongst collectors.

Gulda only recorded the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 once in the studio for Decca (Horst Stein) in 1970, which appears to now be deleted.

The two Beethoven piano sonatas precede his Decca recordings of the same works. These two piano sonatas, like the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3, have never been issued before and remastering has been done using the original WDR master tapes.

Recording: Saal 1, Funkhaus, Cologne, 25 February 1957* / Saal 2, Funkhaus, Cologne, 22 February 1957 (Mono).
