About

This second volume of recordings by Géza Anda is dedicated to 19th century piano masterpieces. Impressive recordings from 1955 until 1969 can be heard, beginning with Beethoven: the strictly non-histrionic but nonetheless poetic interpretation of an early and a late Sonata is contrasted by an energetic and intense performance of the Piano Concerto Op.15.

Anda’s significance as a Brahms interpreter is demonstrated by his powerful performance of the early Piano Sonata Op. 5 and his subtle, melancholy realisation of the three late Intermezzi.

The high point of this disc, however, is Anda’s technically stupendous and musically superior interpretation of Liszt’s B minor Sonata, whose combination of grandeur and quasi-improvisatory boldness only few pianists are able to execute.
