Grete Sultan
"The Legacy" Vol. 1 (2-CD set)

A historic collection of performances recorded between 1959-1990 featuring the influential pianist Grete Sultan who, up until recently, only labored in relative obscurity. In Sultan's art, the barriers between classical and modern music simply do not exist anymore. The same magic that she brings to Bach and Debussy, she also brings to Schoenberg and Cage, making music that was once 'difficult' and experimental into poetry that is at once timeless and personal.

"This German-born pianist, who not long ago celebrated her 93rd birthday, is altogether formidable. These discs, recorded live over 30 years, amply demonstrate her commanding technique, penetrating intellect, stylistic range and passionate commitment to the music." – Edith Eisler, Tower Pulse ***** Five-Stars (top rating)
