Born in 1987, Emanuele Delucchi has made a name for himself in Italy and abroad for his absolute mastery of the \"hyper-virtuoso\" composers who, after Liszt, pushed the boundaries of piano technique. He is counted among the greatest modern interpreters of Charles-Valentin Alkan, and here is his third album for Piano Classics, devoted to the original works and transcriptions of Leopold Godowsky. \"As an introduction to Godowsky's polyphonic universe, Emanuele Delucchi's programme is simply perfect,\" wrote Gramophone about his performance of the Passacaglia, original poems, and a selection of transcriptions (PCL0096). The interpretations are distinguished by \"great technical mastery and a relaxed yet assured empathy,\" a view shared by Classics Today in its review of Delucchi's 2017 album, dedicated to Godowsky's elaborations and transformations of Chopin's Études Op. 10: \"a version that unquestionably rivals the benchmark editions by Marc-André Hamelin and Carlo Grante... Delucchi's total ease and assimilation of Godowsky's sinuous language are evident in every measure. Needless to say, I eagerly await his interpretations of the other études.\" This wish is now fulfilled with the release of the complementary collection of works based on Chopin's Études Op. 25. Composed by Godowsky over several decades, these études engage every facet of piano technique, condensing some into parts for the left hand alone, adding secondary voices to others, and using still others as a basis for free variations and fantasies. He could state without false modesty that the fingerwork and pedaling required for such feats were \"often revolutionary,\" and Delucchi is a fervent modern advocate.","brand":"Emanuele Delucchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57475787587928,"sku":null,"price":20260128.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/emanuele-delucchi_leopold-godowsky-etudes-sur-chopin-op-25_2026_disco-outhere-distribution-france","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
