폴디 밀드너 – 독일 방송 녹음 (1933-1961)
잊힌 피아니스트, 폴디 밀드너의 이름을 다시 되살린 멜로 클래식이 그녀가 독일에서 연주했던 방송 실황(1933-61)을 선보인다.
낭만주의 전통의 계승자였던 밀드너는 놀라운 비르투오시티와 셈여림은 물론 아름다운 내성부를 노래할 줄 아는 위대한 피아니스트였다. 이 앨범에는 그녀의 장기였던 슈만과 브람스는 물론 따로 다른 녹음이 존재하지 않는 다양한 레퍼토리가 담겼는데, 2차 세계대전 이후 테이프가 분실되어 불완전하게 남은 리스트와 하이든 작품도 예술적인 가치를 고려해서 수록되었다.
대규모 협주곡부터 소품까지, 폴디 밀드너의 모든 것이 담긴 앨범이다.

(*) The two historical radio broadcasts produced for the German Kurzwellensender (KWS, shortwave transmitter) of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG) in 1938 are incomplete due to the loss of discs from each set after World War II. Specifically, the first disc (KWS 49909) of the Liszt Mephisto Waltz (KWS 49909-49911) and the last disc (KWS 49906) of the third movement of the Haydn Sonata (KWS 49903-49906) are missing. Despite this incompleteness, we have decided to publish these broadcasts for artistic reasons, as they represent the only surviving recordings of these works by Poldi Mildner.
