Gigli Edition, Vol. 1: The Milan Recordings
Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Benno Moiseiwitsch was born in the so-called cradle of Russian pianism, Odessa, in 1890. This seventh volume of the recordings of Moiseiwitsch consists of Russian works by composers whose music had a foot in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moiseiwitsch’s style of playing is rooted in the nineteenth although he lived the greater part of his life in the following century. As well as Rachmaninov, with whose music he had a great affinity, Moiseiwitsch knew another composer-pianist exile, Nikolai Medtner. Medtner’s music has rarely been popular with pianists or the public, and Moiseiwitsch was doing his friend a service when he recorded his Sonata, Op. 22.
