Fantasie Impromptu, Op. 66 Victor Schiøler © Danish pianist Victor Schiøler (1899 – 1967) who already as a teenager had studied with Ignaz Friedman and Artur Schnabel, was without any doubt the most famous pianist of his generation. Even today the number of his recordings exceeds those of most, perhaps all, other Danish pianists. His first recordings date back to 1924 in the acoustic era, when microphones and electricity were unknown in recording. The energy in the sound itself provided the power to the cutting needle for engraving the wax, from which pressing matrices were made. His recording career continued well into the era of the long-playing record. RELEASE DATE: MARCH 2019 CATALOGUE NUMBER: DACOCD 832-833 EAN: 5709499832332 Download BOOKLET (PDF)   Related
