This 10CD set will appeal to those who simply love the piano, and who want to add to their CD collection some of the greatest concertos and sonatas ever written for piano.It will also appeal to those who are fascinated not only by the great music, but also by the people who play such challenging music.
On these CDs is a remarkable collection of performers. From great artists of the last century such as Richter, Anda, Gilels and Wild -- all of whom rank as among the very greatest pianist of all time, to the young Brendel, recorded at the beginning of his career in the early 1960s in two Mozart concertos. Brendel recently retired from performing and recording having become one of the greatest interpreters of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert.
The younger generation is represented by early recordings by performers who are still only in their 30s. Kissin and Lugansky represent the long line of Russian school virtuosos that can be traced back to Anton Rubinstein, Sergei Prokofiev, Sergei Rachmaninov, Benno Moseiwitch, Nikolai Medtner, and of course Richter and Gilels.
On these CDs are Richter playing Schubert's sonata D894, Gilels in Beethoven's concerto 3&5, Anda in a Schumann recital, Brendel in Mozart concertos 19&20, Freire in Liszt concertos 1&2 and Totentanz, Lugansky in Rachmaninov's Etudes Tableaux, Kissin is Chopin concertos 1&2, Pizarro in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, and Grimaud in Rachmaninov's Second concerto, and Ravel's G major concerto.
