Description:

Idil Biret wanted to record the many waltz transcriptions of Godowsky and others. Chief among these was the transcription of Johann Strauss' waltz 'KÃ¼nstlerleben' by Godowsky, which she had performed at many concerts in the 1970s, and the 'Blue Danube Waltz.' However, there was another project scheduled before that: four Haydn Sonatas, some of the most beautiful among the many he composed. When Idil suddenly fell ill in 2021, both projects were abandoned. Then, miraculously, a stupendous recording of her performance of 'KÃ¼nstlerleben' in New York in December 1975 surfaced on the internet, which led to reembarking on the project in a somewhat different way. The result is this CD, a compilation of Biret's past performances of Waltzes and Dances from many composers including Bartok, Berlioz, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Ravel, Stravinsky, and, of course, Leopold Godowsky - his piano transcription of the Strauss waltz 'KÃ¼nstlerleben,' 'Metamorphosis on Themes from Artist's Life.' -
