Rudolf Ganz was among the most important advocates of MacDowell's music, alongside other important names such as Constance Keene, Teresa Carreño, Van Cliburn, André Watts, and Leopold Godowsky. Ganz gives MacDowell's Second Sonata (which is a close contender to the semi-famous Second Concerto and the practically-forgotten Fourth Sonata for his best large-scale work) a powerful reading, one that truly brings the work to life in the same fashion that Earl Wild, Jorge Bolet, Egon Petri, and others did for Liszt, whom was MacDowell's grandteacher. (With Joachim Raff serving as the go-between link.) Many thanks for this wonderful post of this composer's work!
