Description
A new recording of Beethoven masterpieces by a Hungarian pianist acclaimed for her "intelligence, technical finesse, and innate musicality" (Classics Today). As issued by Brilliant Classics in 2025, a 34CD box of music from Bach to Bartok demonstrated the impressive range of Klara Wurtz's musical affinities, in recordings which span over two decades. According to Rob Cowan in Gramophone, the box testified to a career of consistent excellence in the studio, "her performances attentive to detail, sprightly and invariably at on with with her chosen repertoire". Such praise amplified the enthusiastic reception accorded to her long-pondered recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations, made for Piano Classics, and which was given an Editor's Choice by Gramophone for its "selfless commitment and personality, bringing delicacy, drama and architectural splendour to this great music."
