Labor Records is pleased to return to the catalogue this 2-disc collection of performances by the remarkable pianist Grete Sultan (June 21, 1906, Berlin - June 26, 2005, New York City), originally released on the Concord Concerto label in 2002. Sultan was a muse to American music pioneer John Cage and his circle, a sought-after pedagogue, and a pianist who enjoyed a loyal audience and critical acclaim in particular for her recordings and interpretations of twentieth century music. In Sultan's art, the barriers between classical and modern music simply do not exist anymore. Equally mesmerizing performing both European classical music and modern 20th century compositions, Sultan delivers timeless interpretations of works by Johann Sebastian Bach (the Goldberg Variations, recorded with repeats in a single unedited take), Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg and Cage.
