CD Reviews

Beautiful Aesthetic Integrity: the Art of Robert Fuchs...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 12/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

Disc features the truly beautiful Sonatas for solo piano by the unfortunately forgotten Robert Fuchs (1847-1927), as expertly realized by Daniel Blumenthal, and recorded on Marco Polo (Naxos) in Heidelberg, 1991.



"Fuchs is a splendid musician; everything is so fine and so skillful, so charmingly invented, that one is always pleased"--Johannes Brahms, Vienna, c.1890.



Companion of Brahms and Weingartner; incredibly influential professor of harmony at the Vienna Conservatory; teacher of Mahler, Zemlinsky, Wolf, Schreker, Schmidt, Wolf, and Sibelius; Fuchs was also a proflic original artist who produced works of a very high aesthetic quality in virtually all genres, all reflecting the same "pure, unclouded grace and sophistication."



Fuchs' ethos may perhaps be described as a very clean synthesis of Brahms and Schubert.



Two large Piano Sonatas:



Op. 19 (1877)

Op. 88 (1910)



TT: :73mins.
