Provenance

Where it came from

Released by Decca in 1958 as part of their Gold Label series, this recording pairs two cornerstones of the twentieth-century neoclassical and modern repertoire. Igor Stravinsky composed his Concerto for Piano and Winds in 1924, a work that exemplifies his shift away from the lush romanticism of his early ballets toward a more disciplined, austere style. The work was initially met with mixed reactions from critics who found its rigid structure challenging, though it has since become a definitive study in the interplay between percussive keyboard articulation and wind orchestration.

Béla Bartók’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, composed in 1937, represents a bold exploration of timbre and rhythm. The work is famous for its intricate demands on the percussionists and the specific spatial arrangement of the instruments, which Bartók insisted be positioned to maximize the sonic clarity of the textures. This 1958 release features performances by Carl Seemann and Edith Picht-Axenfeld, who were highly regarded for their commitment to the intellectual and technical rigors of the avant-garde music scene during the post-war era.
