300, Ingolf Wunder
The first thing I thought when I saw the repertoire on this recording was that it’s really quite weird. This is a seriously odd selection of repertoire, there is no doubting that Wunder is a very good pianist yet I was very hesitant to think that this might work. Yet strangely it does. Youve got a Scarlatti Sonata on one hand, famous works like the Flight of the Bumblebee followed up by a Morricone piece and the Star Wars theme. The warmth of the Deutsche Grammophon sound brings Wunder into the living room and makes it sound like he’s performing for you. Altogether a highly enjoyable recording that is terrific for those piano lovers out there.
