Solo: Konstantin Scherbakov Soloist
Notes
Leopold Godowsky’s stature as one of the world’s great piano virtuosi was maintained until a stroke ended his performing life in 1930. But, allied to his prodigious gifts as a performer, he also published a series of original compositions and transcriptions for the piano. In this twelfth volume of Konstantin Scherbakov’s critically acclaimed series, the focus falls on the delectable Six Waltz-Poemsfor the left hand and on an ingeniously crafted series of song transcriptions of well-known music by Schumann, Brahms, Schubert and also Carl Bohm. Godowsky additionally pays homage to Kreisler with his delicious transcription of the Rondino on a theme of Beethoven.

" Scherbakov is a good advocate for these technically challenging works Scherbakov’s devotion to this overlooked composer is dmirable. People following this series will enjoy this recording.
Sang Woo Kang - American Record Guide - January/Feruary 2015
Scherbakov’s herculean task of recording all of Leopold Godowsky’s music continues with this nicely varies selection of early and late original works, and transcriptions that range in difficulty from straightforward simplicity to technically treacherous Each piece, played with no littleaffection, is wonderfully well characterised to show these largely forgotten works in the best possible light
