The late Harold C Schonberg wrote of Percy Grainger (The Great Pianists), "Grainger was one of the most gifted pianists of the century, and his credentials were impeccable: student of Louis Pabst, James Kwast, and Ferruccio Busoni: friend of Grieg, exponent of modern music (Debussy, Delius, Albeniz) at the turn of the century. He had a free, easy swing at the piano, a superb tone, and an effortless , completely natural technique.----He was one of the keyboard originals."
This 1925 performance is the first recording of Chopin's Piano Sonata No 3 Op 58. John Bird, Grainger's biographer writes, ": This performance has stood the test of time and is the recording to which connoisseurs always turn when Grainger's greatness as a pianist is discussed. It is played with a ferocity and wild abandon that at times is frightening."
