The Complete Leopold Godowsky, Vol. 2 CDR (WITH ORIGINAL BOOKLET AND TRAY CARD)

Leopold Godowsky (1870–1938) was one of the great geniuses in the history of piano, earning the highest esteem as both performer and composer. Virtually self-taught, he concertized all over the world until felled by a stroke during a London recording session in 1930. Godowsky was praised for his effortless technique and the remarkable tonal subtlety of his playing. Godowsky’s recorded legacy extends from 1913 to 1930 and includes discs made for both American and British Columbia as well as for Brunswick. Until now there has been no systematic, comprehensive reissue of his recordings. Marston is proud to announce the second volume of the Complete Godowsky series in three volumes, arranged chronologically by recording date and utilizing the best available original copies. Many items, including test pressings, appear on CD for the first time.
