Kathleen Long plays Rameau Variations in A Minor

An October 30, 1929 recording by British pianist Kathleen Long of Rameau's Variations in A Minor, the filler side to the rare National Gramophonic Society recording of the Haydn Sonata featured on this channel, also transferred and made available by Tom Jardine, to whom all thanks. Long is largely forgotten today (she was not related to the better-known French pianist and pedagogue Marguerite Long) but during her lifetime she produced several records, including some discs for Decca. In this superb performance of one of the few Rameau works that were performed at the time, Long plays with a polished tone, transparent voicing, skillful pedalling that never obscures clarity, and wonderful momentum. Marvellous playing from a woefully neglected pianist! If you wish to support The Piano Files, please consider membership at my Patreon page:   / thepianofiles
