Description: | Viennese pianist Friedrich Wührer studied piano with Franz Schmidt
and composition with Joseph Marx. Admired by Pfitzner and Reger, who
dedicated works to him, Wührer had a strong interest in contemporary
composers but on disc his major recordings include the first nominally
complete cycle of Schubertâ??s piano sonatas and the Beethoven piano
concertos. These recordings of Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 were taped in
Stuttgart with conductor Walther Davisson, a distinguished erstwhile
violinist, and originally released in 1956. A few years later, during London
concerts, a critic wrote of Wührerâ??s â??magnificent playing in Beethoven using
a tremendous range of dynamics and completely without resort to special
effectsâ??, qualities that apply equally to these classic Vox recordings. - .. CONCERTOS NOS. 2 & 3Friedrich Wührer was appointed Professor at the Vienna Academy of Music at the age of 28 but he did not confine his activities to teaching. He soon became increasingly active as a concert pianist. His concert tours led him to most countries in Europe, and earned him the reputation as one of the finest keyboard artists of his time. |
