One of the most outstanding pianists of his generation, Friedrich Gulda was committed to Mozart in a way he was to no other composer. For him, Mozart was undoubtedly "the master of all masters." There are special commonalities between the interpreter and the composer: each garnered acclaim as a child prodigy, each was a gifted improviser and a provocateur with a penchant for irreverent humor. To celebrate what would have been Friedrich Gulda's 90th birthday, his performances of Mozart's Piano Sonatas Nos. 17 and 16 and the Fantasia in C Minor, originally released in 1990 (recordings from 1978), are now available on 180g vinyl LP for the very first time!
