Wilhelm Kempff - Bach, Mozart, Schubert & Schumann: The Complete Polydor Recordings (1927-1936)
Catalogue No: APR_5638
Barcode: 5024709156382
Wilhelm Kempff's 78-rpm recordings were very much focused on Beethoven, as can be heard on seven previously issued APR discs, but this release presents everything by other composers he set down from the start of electrical recording until the war. Notable among the titles are four of his own Bach transcriptions and, revealing the pianist in an unexpected light, his own virtuosic elaboration of the Schubert/Liszt �Hark, Hark! The Lark� transcription.
