Anthony Goldstone (piano)About
Masked balls have figured importantly in the festivities, during which often “anything goes” and which reach a climax on the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, famously known as Mardi Gras (fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday in Britain). Many works of art – visual, literary and musical – have been inspired by the possibilities of the carnival; for the pianist the pinnacle is Schumann’s Carnaval, Op.9, which is the focus of this CD.
Also included on this disc are works on the same theme – and feature three première recordings:
- Khachaturian: Masquerade Suite (arr. Alexander Dolukhanian)
- Sydney Smith: Fantasie brilliante on Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera, Op.10
- Dvorak: Carnival Overture Op.92 (arr. Paul Klengel)
This is the second in a trio of discs by Anthony Goldstone featuring piano transcriptions themed on forms of public spectacle, following “A Night at the Opera" (DDA25067).
Described by The New York Times as “a man whose nature was designed with pianos in mind”, Anthony Goldstone is one of Britain’s most respected pianists. He has enjoyed a career encompassing six continents, very many broadcasts and nearly seventy CDs. He has an adventurous approach to repertoire and has been praised by Vienna's Die Presse for “his astonishingly profound spiritual penetration”.
