Busoni was one of the most important composers of the early twentieth
century, with a distinct and profound aesthetic of his own. His music
for solo piano embraces the virtuosity of Liszt and the technical
discipline of Bach. Nowhere are these characteristics more apparent than
in his works drawn from or inspired by Bach, as this disc magnificently
shows. It opens with Busoni’s magisterial transcription for piano of
Bach’s powerful Chaconne in D minor, in which Busoni presents an
entirely legitimate late romantic version of the original composition
for solo violin. Equally impressive are the Variations and Fugue in free
form on Chopin’s in C, inspired by Chopin’s visionary twentieth prelude
from his set of twenty-four.
