I'm impressed you own this album. It's not her greatest work, but the only time, I think, she recorded Beethoven.
Very cool indeed (you know your classical well). It's a beautiful album. Her playing translates to the piano in an interesting way, as one would expect. I enjoyed earlier harpsichord works of her's that I'd heard before, but this album really encouraged me to dig into more of her catalogue. Her technique through modern sound is just beautiful to me.I'm impressed you own this album. It's not her greatest work, but the only time, I think, she recorded Beethoven.
As you know, these late 1920s "recordings" are of Wanda playing on a Duo-Art reproducing piano, that makes a piano roll. The piano roll is then able to be played back on a "player piano." In this way, when played back on a top-quality Duo-Art piano (yes, they still exist) and recorded by a professional studio, on state-of-the-art equipment, you have Wanda Landowska in modern sound. Very cool.
