Friedrich Gulda had a very special connection to Munich and the Munich Philharmonic. Beginning roughly in 1965, Munich and its audience became a second home to the Austrian pianist. In 1981 he co-founded the »Münchner Klaviersommer« (Munich Piano Summer), a crossover festival with which he remained associated for many years. It was during this festival that the recording being released on the MPHIL label was made in 1986.
