Clifford Curzon (piano)About
Curzon’s recordings of the Schubert Impromptus, the “Trout Quintet” and the Symphonic Variations by Cesar Franck, which are included in this 10-CD box, did set standards that are still valid today. Curzon made his debut under Henry Wood at London’s Queen’s Hall at the age of 16, and from 1928 on he completed his studies with Artur Schnabel in Berlin and with Nadia Boulanger and Wanda Landowska in Paris. He married Landowska’s student Lucille Wallace.
Curzon was equally respected as a soloist and as a chamber musician. Outstanding documents of this can also be found in this box. Apparent in all of these recordings is something critics around the globe noted about Curzon: a piano tone, which “could unite clear contour and bright luminosity in an inimitable way”.
