Piano Music

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Wilhelm Kempff, who had begun his musical career as an acclaimed organist, later became one of the greatest and most admired pianists of the twentieth century. His recordings of Schubert’s Piano Sonatas were epoch-making, and he worked with such musicians as Yehudi Menuhin, Pierre Fournier, or Mstislav Rostropovič. Wilhelm Kempff's activity as a composer is relatively obscure, although he considered it one of the most important means to exercise his creativity. In fact, his first teacher, Robert Kahn, suggested to the young student to dedicate himself exclusively to composition, but Kempff chose not to follow his advice. Giovanni Auletta delved for several years into the heritage of Wilhelm Kempff, discovering true gems within his manuscripts. Kempff's compositional activity, far from being marginal, permeated his entire existence, representing a constant deepening of musical ideas. This album includes Kempff’s Rhapsodisches Präludium, Suite Ischia op. 68, Sonata op. 47, and three transcriptions after Bach.
