Groschopp, Holger;

C5198

The disc is completed with three arrangements by composers from Busoni's circle. I suppose the interest is in hearing the influence of the master on the pupils and to bulk out an otherwise short playing time. By including Michael von Zadora's version of In Dulci Jubilo and Egon Petri's Sheep may safely graze the familiarity quotient of the second disc is increased without adding greatly to our knowledge of Bach arranging, very pleasant though they are. The final work is a real curio and one quite out of place here. It is a salon polka by Busoni's mother entitled Ferruccio. Groschopp actually plays it very well indeed - with a wit and freedom that escapes him elsewhere in this set. Together with the couple of fragments and Groschopp's solo piano version of BV271 it is a first recording but to be honest that would not be enough of a reason to buy this disc.
