Donald Isler -- Recordings of Donald Isler on Kasp Records

KASP Records is a label which presents great classical works, both familiar and unfamilar, performed by pianist Donald Isler on CD.

We are also proud to offer an historic release by the great Swiss pianist, Adrian Aeschbacher.

The repertoire on our disks includes major works of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, four late works of Beethoven, one of his most dramatic early sonatas, as well as works by Artur Schnabel and Louis Spohr, two of which are premiere recordings.

Our newest offerings include two CD's of music by the celebrated American composer, Louis Pelosi. The first of these disks, both of which are devoted to the memory of his wife, the artist, Rosemarie Koczÿ, includes his first two String Quartets, plus his Prayer Suite for violin and piano, all performed by outstanding members of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, plus his a cappella vocal sextet, I Weave You A Shroud, with the brilliant New York Virtuoso Singers, conducted by Harold Rosenbaum.

The second disk presents Pelosi's Thirty-Seven Inventions, Canons and Fugues on a Single Motif with Donald Isler, pianist.

Turok's Choice wrote "Pianist Donald Isler wisely couples standard items with novelties.....There is a winning freshness to his approach."

The New York Times said of a recital by Donald Isler "He plays with interest; one's own interest is stimulated in response. Listening to him in Schubert's rarely-heard B major Sonata, one thinks 'What a marvelous piece!'.....His feel for large shapes and his ability to keep momentum alive through long movements makes him a most satisfying sonata player."
