Louis Moreau Gottschalk

Louis Moreau Gottschalk became a concert pianist and an eccentric purveyor of virtuosic fantasies on any popular tune that took his fancy, bringing much fame and, no doubt, fortune. Born 8 May 1829 in New Orleans, he studied with Berlioz and impressed Chopin with his playing. He died in Tijuca, Brazil on 18 December 1869.

A selection of articles about Louis Moreau Gottschalk

Ensemble. Intimately Done - Paul Sarcich was at the Echoes Festival's PanAmericana concert, which illustrated the cross-influence between North and South American music

CD Spotlight. Anything and Everything - Mainstreet Brass, enjoyed by the late Howard Smith. 'An exhilirating brass ensemble in a theatrical range of moods; you really can't go wrong.'

CD Spotlight. Compelling and Pleasurable - Arthur Friedheim plays Liszt, Chopin, Gottschalk and Henselt, heard by Patric Standford. '... a slightly improvisatory interpretation ...'
