Adam Kosmieja:
Tribute to Gulda
 Friedrich Gulda was an extraordinary character, hugely admired as one of the great exponents of classical pianism in the Viennese tradition, but at the same time viewed as a freakish eccentric because of his ventures into the fields of jazz, free improvisation and performance art. Adam Kosmieja plays a number of his demanding, jazzy solo works, and Beethoven's last piano sonata, which Gulda performed a lot in his early years. Listen on NML >

Ferenc Vizi:
Schubert – Piano Sonata D 664, Impromptus D 935
 Ferenc Vizi writes about Schubert's Sonata D. 664: "if Schubert wanted to write a
Spring Journey rather than his famous Winterreise, this music would fit perfectly. From the very first notes the music evokes an enchanted awakening in joyous natural surroundings, shining in the traveller’s eye." The Impromptus D. 935 are among Schubert's last works.
