Ernst Levy was one of the century's most remarkable musicians and yet, prior to the Marston release of Ernst Levy, Volume 1 (52007-2) in February 1998, few were familiar with his work. Levy's creativity and individuality did not appeal to the prevailing taste of the time when his recordings were first released in the 1950s, and consequently, his genius has only been appreciated by a small group of devoted admirers. On this two-CD set, Levy brings his unique interpretive skills to bear on four sonatas by Haydn and five by Beethoven. His readings are provocative and mesmerizing, leaving listeners with the impression that they have heard these familiar works for the first time. Marston feels that these recordings are important to preserve for the benefit of both current fans and future generations alike. Hear the artistry of the musician Greg Sandow of the Wall Street Journal refers to as the “triumphantly rediscovered pianist.”
