A night with Friedrich Gulda.
On this DVD, Friedrich Gulda performs several Mozart piano sonatas, just to have a party afterwards with the Paradise Trio, the Paradise Girls, and DJ Vertigo. The program includes compositions by Barbara Dennerlein – as well as the Techno Music.
Gulda, born in 1930 in Vienna, is regarded as one of the cross-over pioneers of his time. Following a major classical career, he turned towards Jazz, and later even to electronic music. His compositions as well as his live performances are legendary – they are the refreshing credentials of an unconventional genius.
This music is performed by Friedrich Gulda, featuring The Paradise Trio (with Barbara Dennerlein), The Paradise Girls and DJ Vertigo.
Friedrich Gulda said:
“You have to realize, that it’s all connected; that Mozart’s music is immensely dance-like and related to Techno in a figurative sense. The differences can be seen by every idiot. But to see the connection’s you have to be really smart.”
Here is Friedrich Gulda, playing Mozart’s Sonatas KV 332, 375, 457:
And next, he plays the third movement from the Mozart sonata E flat major K282:
