About

To mark the 25th anniversary of the renowned Czech pianist’s death, Sony Classical is pleased to release the complete RCA and Columbia album collection from revered classical pianist Rudolf Firkušný. Firkušný studied music under acclaimed composers Leoš Janáček and Josef Suk, and the pianist Vilém Kurz. He then went on to study with legendary pianists Alfred Cortot and Artur Schnabel. During the 1930s Firkušný achieved international fame as an interpreter of the core concerto, chamber and solo repertoire. His unique reputation today rests chiefly on his unequalled mastery in the piano music of his Czech compatriots Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů. Firkušný also recorded memorable interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin, as well as Samuel Barber and Howard Hanson. All of these stunning recordings are included in this must-have box set. Rudolf Firkušný taught at the prestigious Juilliard School and the Berkshire Music Centre. Many of his students went on to become successful pianists.
