An anniversary accolade with a twist: one hundred and fifty years after his birth, this is a wonderful recital of some of the many works dedicated to Leopold Godowsky. It's difficult to imagine more persuasive performances than these by Andrey Gugnin, who makes a second appearance on Hyperion after his universally - and vociferously - acclaimed Shostakovich.
"A rich vein of virtuoso romantic rarities lovingly played." MusicWeb May 2020
"Prepare yourself for a deliciously scintillating potpourri of choice delicacies, full of character and charm...Among many factors that make Gugnin's performances so admirable is that he's able to imbue each piece with its own distinctively recognisable character. But even more importantly, Gugnin approaches these works on their own terms so that, far from seeming dated or brittle, they emerge fresh and full of vitality and charm" Editor's Choice Gramophone May 2020
"This is a box of heady and decadent delights with enough acrobatics to make lesser mortals gasp in wonder… Gugnin's performance of the Busoni is among the most characterful and articulate on record, and elsewhere he is more than equal to every ferocious demand." International Piano
