Sparkling performances from Liv Glaser<\/p>\n
The Norwegian pianist Liv Glaser turns 80 on September 23rd 2015. Simax Classics has prepared a ‘best of’ release with Liv on the fortepiano \u2013 including a big section of new recordings of gorgeous waltzes by Schubert, Schumann and Ravel.<\/p>\n
\u201cMozart has a clearly justified place; after all he \u2018kicked\u2019 me into starting to play the fortepiano, and has been my companion since I was a child! In addition, tidbits from other impassioned company \u2013 Clementi, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Ravel and Grieg \u2013 not to forget my music-loving friends Helene, Per and little brother Ernst Simon. We have played and experienced together in rich co-existence! When the idea hit us to put together a fortepiano \u2018cavalcade\u2019 we could not resist seasoning it with some recent material. The Ravel-waltzes will for me personally always be linked to Paris and my beloved teacher Vlado Perlemuter who studied all Ravel\u2019s works with the composer. Schubert \u2013 who composed a countless number of waltzes \u2013 was Ravel\u2019s source of inspiration. Brahms of course loved Schubert, as well as edited some of his late works, which thereby gives CD II a Viennese leitmotif.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut \u2013 it can\u2019t be ignored: I have already lived through several music-lives and one of the most important, most absorbing and most valuable is the never ceasing life with fortepianos of various vintage. Selecting the works for this collection has been a hard nut to crack. Mozart has a clearly justified place; after all he \u2018kicked\u2019 me into starting to play the fortepiano, and has been my companion since I was a child!\u201d<\/p>\n
