{"product_id":"allegretto-spiritoso-best-of-liv-glaser","title":"Allegretto Spiritoso: Best of Liv Glaser","description":"The Norwegian pianist Liv Glaser turns 80 on September 23rd 2015. Simax Classics has prepared a 'best of' release with Liv on the fortepiano – including a big section of new recordings of gorgeous waltzes by Schubert, Schumann and Ravel. “Mozart has a clearly justified place after all he ‘kicked’ me into starting to play the fortepiano, and has been my companion since I was a child! In addition, tidbits from other impassioned company – Clementi, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Ravel and Grieg – not to forget my music-loving friends Helene, Per and little brother Ernst Simon. We have played and experienced together in rich co-existence! When the idea hit us to put together a fortepiano ‘cavalcade’ we could not resist seasoning it with some recent material. The Ravel-waltzes will for me personally always be linked to Paris and my beloved teacher Vlado Perlemuter who studied all Ravel’s works with the composer. Schubert – who composed a countless number of waltzes – was Ravel’s source of inspiration. Brahms of course loved Schubert, as well as edited some of his late works, which thereby gives CD II a Viennese leitmotif.” - Live Glaser","brand":"Simax Classics","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49705194357016,"sku":"7033662013272","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3027574.jpg?v=1777659746","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/allegretto-spiritoso-best-of-liv-glaser","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
