About

This eighth volume completes our survey of the surviving output for solo piano by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Once again prepare to be charmed by a motley collection of Polkas, popular tunes and everything in between, all glittering in a tinsel of scales, arpeggios, octaves and chords. Philip Martins playing of this repertoire now needs no introduction; suffice to say he still plays as well now as he did in the previous seven volumes. All of the music on this album is also available as part of the specially priced box set Gottschalk: The Complete Solo Piano Music: There are some fine Gottschalk albums out there, but Martins is the only complete survey of the composers works for solo piano. Not only that, he has a unique affinity for this music that shines through in every bar Martin reminds us just how consistently assured and interesting Gottschalks keyboard writing really is. Indeed, thats why I found it so easy to listen to all 109 tracks in a single day. Sensitively planned and lovingly played, this set contains some of the most varied and enchanting piano sounds imaginable a must-buy for pianophiles and LMG fans alike (MusicWeb International).

One minute sat cosily by the fireside ('Home, Sweet, Home'), the next off to Strauss's Vienna ('Pensive') and then back home for Sousa march style ('Ses yeux'). These are sympathetic performances, glowingly recorded.

Awards Issue 2005

This is a momentous occasion in the history of 19th-century piano music and in documentation of the colourful American composer-pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk. …Martin… understands exactly his stylistic range, from the mellifluous Italianate melody of the salon to sheer, virtuosity, but without any exaggeration.

Another neglected area of the 19th-century repertoire has been thoroughly explored and superbly championed by Martin
