Among the major accomplishments of Walter Gieseking’s career at the piano, the three cycles of Mozart, Debussy and Ravel are the stuff of discographic legend and have influenced generations of musicians. The Ravel recordings in particular are striking tokens of Gieseking’s unsurpassed refinement and deep understanding of the French spirit, perhaps a legacy of his French childhood? Here is the first volume out of two of these must-hear and newly remastered milestones.
