Gulda, a brilliant master of rhythm, uncompromising
Bach interpreter and jazz musician, is heard at his
best when performing Chopin, whose works appear
in Gulda’s earliest concert programmes. His secret in
playing Chopin with so much vitality lay in the inimitable
mix of rhythmic strictness, cantabile tenderness and
controlled outbursts.
Beethoven was an important composer for Gulda. The
theme and variation form afforded both of them the
opportunity to demonstrate their respective abilities
and showcase their remarkable skills. And what better
showcase than the Diabelli Variations?
Although this fourth instalment of the SWR Gulda
Edition includes only well-known compositions,
Friedrich Gulda’s extraordinary sense of sound,
sophisticated touch and rhythmic vitality coax new
facets out of these works so that we hear them from a
fresh perspective.
