J.S. Bach "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" - organ choral prelude BWV 727 transcribed and played by Alexander Kelberine (1903-1940).
(Released in the UK in 1937)
Russian-born Alexander Kelberine (1903-1940) studied with Busoni, Leo Sirota and Alexander Siloti. Kelberine was married to Jeanne Behrend (1911-1988) who was a student of Josef Hofmann, Rosario Scalero and Abram Chasins. They formed a duo-piano team and recorded together on the Victor label. Their 1936 set of Bach transcriptions (all by Kelberine) for solo and duo performance is a collectors item today. According to Nicolas Slonimsky, Kelberine was a victim of acute depression. He programmed his last recital for pieces in minor keys and of funeral connotations, concluding with Liszt's Totentanz, after which he went home and took an overdose of sleeping pills.

This is fantastic - do you know whether he recorded anything else? How sad that he took his life at a young age when he was so prodigiously talented...

Thank you for posting this. My grandmother was actually Kelberine's student and later on his teaching assistant at the Philadelphia Musical Academy back in the 1920s. She's always spoken so highly of his playing, but I hadn't heard a recording until now. I'll look forward to playing this for her.

Or rather, the piece leaves an impression of an unknown longing.

Unfortunately this is the only recording I have of Kelberine! I sometimes enjoy myself imagining how he would play a certain piece...
