Emil Gilels (piano)About
The recordings on this first disc of his early recordings, made in the USSR, come from the first stage of Gilels’ career and include his first known recordings from 1935.
Leopold Godowsky’s arrangement of the Gigue by Jean-Baptiste Loeillet immediately shows the immense power the nineteen-year old Gilels had at the keyboard. His playing, especially in his youth, was fiery, volatile and exciting, and even late in his career it still retained grandeur and sweep of a great master in the Russian tradition.
All tracks recorded in the USSR, 1935-1951.
