BUSONI, F.: Piano Music, Vol. 7 - Trascrizione di concerto sopra motivi dell'opera Merlin / Piano Sonatinas Nos. 3 and 6 (Harden)
The essence of Ferruccio Busoni’s music lies in its synthesis of his Italian and German ancestry, emotion and intellect, imagination and rigour. This seventh volume in Naxos’s highly-praised series brings together several virtuosic operatic transcriptions, paraphrases and fantasies, as well as demanding studies and two piano sonatinas. ‘Wolf Harden is a stupendous pianist who can deliver what Busoni demands and then some’ (American Record Guide on Vol. 2, 8.555699).
