The final volume in this acclaimed series of Busoni’s piano music focuses on beginnings and endings. Early works and transcriptions are featured, plus a substantial body of music that Busoni wrote for his multi-volume Klavierübung (‘Piano Exercise’). The early miniatures are teasing and witty but also inventive examples of his mastery of Bachian procedure. The excerpts from Klavierübung, in which he uses his own music and that of others, embody the full breadth of his creative vision. They make a fitting end to this series performed by Wolf Harden, whose playing of Busoni has been described as ‘the clear current benchmark’ (BBC Music Magazine on Volume 2, 8555699).

American Record Guide wrote of Vol.9: ‘Each is a gem, a delight to be savoured from a composer who was to develop into a master of more complex extended forms. The notes are good, the sound excellent, and the pianism is perhaps the best this pianist has given us so far’.

Of Vol.8 (8572845) ClassicsToday.com wrote, ‘Wolf Harden’s clean, refined, and fully committed pianism makes the best case for these early works on disc, along with Naxos’ fine engineering and Richard Whitehouse’s accurate, perceptive booklet annotations’.
