Leopold Godowsky (1870-1938), known to pianophiles as "The Buddha of the Keyboard" and "The Apostle of the Left Hand",
was one of the great geniuses in pianistic history, earning the highest
esteem as both performer and composer. Virtually self-taught, he
concertized all over the world until felled by a stroke at a London
recording session in 1930. Godowsky was praised for his effortless
technique and the remarkable tonal subtlety of his playing. Godowsky’s
recorded legacy extends from 1913 to 1930 and includes discs made for
both American and British Columbia as well as for Brunswick. Until now
there has been no systematic, comprehensive reissue of his recordings.
Marston is proud to announce a Complete Godowsky series in three volumes
of two discs each, arranged chronologically by recording date and
utilizing the best available original copies. Many items, including test
pressings, will appear on CD for the first time.
