Elena Gaponenko, piano
That Vienna is one of the capitals (if not THE
capital) of music is undisputed. With this recording,
Elena Gaponenko has dedicated an entire
CD to the city on the Danube and the composers
who have worked there. Really interesting
is the time frame that these works originate from,
they span exactly 25 years, from 1815–1840.
In her introduction to this CD Elena Gaponenko
writes: “This recording should honour this enchantingly
beautiful city as a great guardian of culture,
as it has brought so many musical icons together
and allowed them to develop creatively.”
