FRIEDRICH GULDA EDITION | Deutsche Grammophon

We announce the upcoming release of Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda’s complete DG, Amadeo, Decca, Philips as well as Accord recordings.  

Gulda’s heart was home to many musical souls – hardly any other pianist could boast such versatility: his repertoire ranged from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Chopin, Schubert, Debussy, Ravel, Strauss and Prokofiev. He won the Concours de Genève at the age of 16 and made his acclaimed Carnegie Hall debut at 20. His playing was always analytically transparent yet also eloquent, captivating and expressive. 

The works featured on this edition combine more than 50 years of recording history and are for the first time presented in one collection, released on 84 CDs and a DVD-Video. Further included are numerous CD premieres as well as the first-ever release of Gulda’s 1947 recording of Bach’s Toccata, BWV 911, previously thought to be lost; and four MPS recordings specially licensed for the edition. The edition is released on 5 December and is available for pre-order.
