Walter Gieseking was a legendary German pianist known for his crystalline technique and poetic touch, particularly in Romantic repertoire. This 1998 EMI Classics release pairs Mendelssohn's delicate Lieder Ohne Worte (Songs Without Words) with Grieg's intimate Lyric Pieces. Both composers crafted miniatures full of character and emotional depth. Gieseking's interpretations are models of clarity and refinement—these intimate character pieces unfold with natural phrasing and unhurried grace. The piano tone is warm and nuanced, never forcing the music. This is Romantic piano at its most thoughtful, ideal for listeners who appreciate restraint and substance over virtuosic display. A beautifully executed two-disc set that captures the poetry in these beloved solo works.
