Beschreibung:

Wilhelm Backhaus (1884-1969) left a 60-year recorded legacy which began in 1908, but though known particularly for Beethoven and Brahms in his later years, he performed a much wider repertoire before the war (as seen on the companion album which presents works by Chopin, Liszt and Schumann) and the four sonatas and two concertos included here are the totality of his early Beethoven output. These are nevertheless important recordings - the 'Emperor' concerto was only the second ever recording and the first recorded by the 'electric' process. The 4th became an instant classic and still stands high among recorded versions. The sonatas benefit from the spontaneity of youth - the didactic and gruff presentation which occasionally afflicts Backhaus's later complete sonata cycles is little in evidence here. Three of the sonatas were issued with Bach 'fillers' and we have included these here to reveal yet another side of Backhaus' musicianship., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Labelcode APGS6027.2
