Walter Gieseking ( Lyon1895-London 1956 ) plays Grieg 's Papillon and Oisillon from Morceaux Lyriques.
op43 n1 and n 4 - 78RPM record ( both pieces are on the first side ).
Roma in 1930 pictures.The pianist was an entomologist so the first pict is a butterfly of his collection.
Hoping that amateur pianists ( like me ) will not be too much discouraged listening to the Giesking's performance!
Thanks Eli for sharing and thanks for this music.. I needed it, hectic week and caotic thoughts...
