Description
Friedrich Guida was born in Vienna on May 16, 1930. He began his musical education at the Grossmann Conservatory and subsequently took private lessons from Felix Pazofsky. From 1942 to 1947 he studied piano at the Vienna Academy of Music under Bruno Seidlhofer and Music Theory and Com position under Joseph Marx . He gave his first public performance in 1944 and, two years later when just 16 years old, won the Geneva International Music Competition. Starting after the Second World War, as a 20-year-old, Guida established himself as a piano soloist with an excel I ent international reputation and even performed at Carnegie HalI in New York City in 1950. In the 1950s he was celebrated and considered the leading interpreter of Beethoven in his generation. He founded his own Klassische Orchester Guida for chamber music with members of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. In addition to Beethoven, GuIda's repertoire encompasses works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Richard Strauss, whose Burleske in D minor and lieder are included in this release, with Guida accompanying soprano Hilde Güden. Despite all the quirks and eccentricities of his personality, Guida was an immensely talented and gifted pianist whom Joachim Kaiser praised as a master of pointed rhythmic urgency between classical and popular music ... and at the same time briIliant as a flash of Iightning and delicately sensitive.""
