Music reviews of Busoni: Piano Concerto Op 39

Music Review: Establishing a Precedent
Rating: 5 Stars

John Ogden's recording of the Busoni Piano Concerto, Op. 39, in 1967, with Daniell Revenaugh on the podium, was an achievement eagerly awaited by a small number of musicians and historians in the know. Although the public performance of this concerto had reached a point of almost total neglect, the world was not by any means bereft of those who had intimate knowledge of its stature and of Busoni's standing as a composer and pianist. Indeed, each generation since Busoni included performers who knew and revered this great work. The repertoires of Egon Petri, student of Busoni, and Gunnar Johansen, student of Petri, included this concerto. With the passing of years and the decline of composition which glorifies the highest reaches of true piano technique, it was, thankfully, inevitiable that such a great work would once again see the light of day. Although there were others performing Busoni's Opus 39 at the time Ogden and Revenaugh recorded the concerto for Angel, one must stand in awe and thankfulness for the staggering achievement these men made. This recording, although now dated, should be required listening for anyone playing Busoni and other composers who truly know how to write music for the piano, anyone who loves great performances, and anyone looking for inspired music that is most assuredly edging its way into public performance. This recording is a great achievement.
