We have received many messages regarding our Walter Gieseking project for which we have waited several years to produce this set, hoping to be able to discover further broadcast recordings of Gieseking. The scope of this project has been extended to the fact, that we have discovered recently more rare radio performances, that have never been released in any format at all including new videos. In order to be a foretaste of what will be available soon, the following example illustrates two recorded live performances of Walter Gieseking during his tour in Australia in 1952. Both part of a major delayed release around December 2017. Other major rarities will be included as well.
The poster they displayed is a concert from Apr 26, 1952, playing Brahms PC2 with the Victorian SO and Juan Jose Castro.
It is great to know that this long-waited set will eventually be published this year, hopefully. Rumors once said the project was killed due to copy right issues…
it probably will be.
but, we’ve waited for the Marston Hofmann Volume 9 for 10 years, and it was a bit meh.
This - this is gonna be certifiably LEGENDARY.
I wish they would issue 2 or 3 smaller boxes, instead of waiting longer to release the “ultimate” Gieseking box…
but maybe they will get a grammy for this, who knows.
