Wilhelm Walter Friedrich Kempff (25 November 1895 – 23 May 1991) was a German pianist and composer. Although his repertoire included Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and Brahms, Kempff was particularly well known for his interpretations of the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert, recording the complete sonatas of both composers. He is considered to have been one of the chief exponents of the Germanic tradition during the 20th century and one of the greatest pianists of all time.

With stiff rhythms, awkward phrasing, and muted colors, his Chopin lacks lyricism, drama, and drive, and thus sounds utterly unlike Chopin. It might have helped had Kempff's technique been up the virtuoso demands of the music, but as passage after passage all too clearly demonstrates, Kempff was no virtuoso, and much of the music here is beyond him.

Kempff was already almost 63 when recording these works some 33 years before he died. With his essentially Germanic musical background and training, he offers a more forthrightly masculine and urgently driven Chopin than the hypersensitive romantic dreamer we so often meet, as the surging opening movement of the Second Sonata at once makes plain.
