The Master Completer

Our late friend Anthony Goldstone was, aside from his skill as a pianist, a fine arranger, and was especially adept at completing works left unfinished by major composers, especially Schubert. But his completion and realisation of the fragmentary B flat Sonata for Two Pianos by Mozart drew particular praise from several eminent musicians and musicologists: “bravissimo!” (Brian Newbould), “Mozart would not have been displeased” (Anthony Payne), “An excellent example of the genre and a most welcome addition” (Julian Rushton), “brilliant” (Philip Wilby), “very cleverly done” (H.C. Robbins Landon), “Extremely successful” (John McCabe). This and several more fascinating rarities appear on Divine Art DDA 25046 ‘Mozart on Reflection’ by Goldstone and Clemmow. Check out also Tony’s pioneering work with Mozart’s solo piano works in ‘The Unheard Mozart’ (DDA 25051).
