LEVITZKI, Mischa: Complete Recordings, Vol. 3 (1927-1938)
Now largely forgotten, the Ukrainian-born American pianist Mischa Levitzki won a considerable reputation for himself, at first in Europe then in the United States. His death in 1941 at the age of 42 was overshadowed by world events, but he had by then secured a position for himself as one of the leading virtuosi of the day. Levitzki’s recordings demonstrate a formidable technique, always under control, as well as a lovely sound guided by an unerring ear for subtlety and nuance. This third volume brings to a close the Naxos edition of Levitzki’s complete commercial recordings.
