Strauss: Ophelia Lieder, Enoch Arden, Piano Sonata, Op. 5, Five Pieces for Piano, Op. 3Glenn Gould, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Claude Rains (Artist) Format: Audio CDThis pairing of Glenn Gould and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is an essential asset to the collection of any lover of the vocal repertoire. Strauss's "Ophelia" suggests that the last word on German lied had not yet been sounded by the 20th century. Gould's interpretation is not, of course, lushly romantic; it's endowed with his unmistakable, brilliant clarity, and casts a new light. As always, to hear Gould tackle any repertoire remains astonishing. --Joshua CodyTrack listing:Richard Strauss. Ophelia-Lieder, Op. 67: Three Songs After William Shakespeare.

His last tour brought him to prestigious musical venues (Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Tokyo etc) and staged him a glamorous returning in 1986 to his homeland, the former Soviet Union, to perform in Moscow and Leningrad much acclaimed recitals.Here we have the very last studio recording of Horowitz, achieved during his last months in 1989 and comprising works never recorded by him before : Haydn - Sonata in E flat major, Chopin - Fantasie-Impromptu op.66, Etudes op.25 nos. 1 & 5, Nocturnes op.55 no.2 & op.62 no.1, Mazurka op.56 no.3, Liszt - Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen and Wagner/Liszt - Isolde's Liebestod. As Murray Perahia remarks in the liner notes, "we get something very personal, as if he was distilling the essence" of music he performed, so that one can sense in the late Horowitz style a kind of wise temperance, an equilibrium finally achieved. The most important feature of these last recordings is the need of conveying deep feelings in a serene manner, with the whole wisdom acquired in a life at the piano. The vivid and precise finger-work, though less spectacular than decades ago, carry now the calm memory of his inner turmoil, his pacified passions and contradictions, his pleasure to play. Horowitz's serenity "sounds" wonderful in these valedictory accounts.For all Horowitz aficionados a genuine must!Horowitz*, Chopin* · Haydn* · Liszt* · Wagner* – The Last RecordingLabel: Sony Classical – SK 45818Format: CDCountry: USReleased: 1990Genre: ClassicalStyle: Classical, RomanticPiano Sonata, Hob.
