The elastic rubato of the Andante spianato exhibits the old-world charm we associate with such luminaries in this piece like Josef Hofmann. 2, long a Gimpel favorite and proffered encore vehicle, flows with an exact pulse and continual color nuance. The B Minor Scherzo enjoys wizardly and poetical impulses in its outer section, while the aerial noel of its trio section demonstrates Gimpel’s natural ease with the Chopin style. The Chopin works more than justify Gimpel’s high reputation in the music of this composer. Only the opening piece, Liszt’s Twelfth Rhapsody, seems eccentric, frenetic, and overly histrionic, though the digital antics remain peerless. From 22 February 1956, in Stuttgart, we have eight potent examples of Gimpel’s often incandescent playing, as in the voluptuously explosive Fifth Sonata of Alexander Scriabin. MeloClassic resurrects selections from two recitals that embrace a goodly repertory not available in other sources, including the Cambria discs produced from Gimpel’s appearances at the Ambassador Auditorium in Los Angeles. Jakob Gimpel (1906-1989) enjoyed – or suffered, depending upon one’s perspective – an illustrious career marked by swathes of neglect, if not abuse.
