Artist description FRITZ STEINEGGER writes: I'm currently living in Mexico, playing recitals and appearing as soloist with the symphonies here and around Latin America. The quality of several of these orchestras is surprisingly high, and, in Mozart's Concerto 21, now on the mp3 charts, I am playing with a truly exceptional conductor, Enrique Barrios, and his Orquesta Sinfonica de Aguascalientes (Mexico). Like many of the leading orchestras here, it is made up half of Mexican nationals and half of foreigners (Russians, Cubans, Americans, et al) Editors note: Fritz is known as having the largest memorized BACH reperitore of any Pianist. FRITZ STEINEGGER studied piano in New York with Wolfgang Rose, at the Akademie in Vienna with Ludwig Czaczkes, and at the Conservatoire in Geneva with Nikita Magaloff. He was a prize-winner at the International Casella Competition, in Naples. In recent years, Steinegger has appeared on several continents, playing concerts from India and Thailand to Mexico and Argentina. Of Gordon Getty´s piano music, premiered on this disc, Fritz Steinegger writes: "I first became aware of Gordon Getty, the composer, through his vocal works -- the opera Plump Jack, the Emily Dickenson songs. But when, at my behest, he mailed me his works for solo piano -- many of them miniatures from his student days -- I realized at once that they too spoke in the distinctive voice I had noted with such pleasure in his larger works. I hastened to program them on an up-coming Los Angeles recital, and this recording documents the Getty pieces played on that evening. The two Landler waltzes are open homages to Schubert. Homework Suite is a collection of short pieces written as extra "homework" when Getty was a student at the San Francisco Conservatory, in the 1960´s. And Echoes of Usher comes from fragments of a never- completed opera based on Poe´s The Fall of the House of Usher."
