Celebrated for his rhythmic vitality and memorable melodies, Gottschalk composed character pieces, dances and paraphrases that reflect both European training and the musical life of the Americas. His music enjoyed popularity in the 19th century and has been the subject of revival recordings and scholarly interest for its unique cultural fusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release presents a selection of Gottschalk’s piano music performed by Lambert Orkis on an 1865 Chickering concert grand. The program showcases banjo-inspired pieces, Creole melodies and grand paraphrases on national airs, recorded with attention to period sonority and pianistic detail. The performance highlights the composer’s colorful textures and dance-like rhythms, offering listeners an evocative portrait of Gottschalk’s pianistic world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerformed by Lambert Orkis, piano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded May 1982 in Coolidge Auditorium, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Bill Bennett.
