The #1 Piano Album (2002) more music like this

composed by Alexander Scriabin, Béla Bartók, Claude Debussy, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edvard Grieg, Enrique Granados, Erik Satie, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, George Gershwin, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel

As if the title -- The #1 Piano Album -- wasn't enough of a claim, the subtitle goes even further: "The best-loved piano works of all time." Of course it seems impossible to deliver on that statement even with two 75-minute-plus compact discs. But as the discs go rolling by -- as Uchida's elegantly turned interpretation of the opening Allegro of ...

The Final Sessions [Box Set] (2006) more music like this

performed by Claudio Arrau (piano)
composed by Claude Debussy, Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven

There is a lot here that was plainly out of Claudio Arrau's league by this point in his career. But give the guy a break: he was in his late eighties when he made the recordings on these six discs. Not that this repertoire is all that tough -- the Bach selections are of the B flat major Partita variety and not the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue ...

Chopin: Études; Allegro de Concert (2007) more music like this

performed by Claudio Arrau (piano)
composed by Frédéric Chopin

Perhaps rightfully, Claudio Arrau never recorded Chopin's etudes again. What could he have done that he had not already done in his 1956 EMI recording? His technique was essentially flawless. In each and every etude, Arrau executes the scales, the arabesques, the arpeggios, the chords, the octaves, the double octaves, the double octaves in ...

Chopin: 26 Préludes; Schumann: Papillons [Hybrid SACD] (2006) more music like this

performed by Claudio Arrau (piano)
composed by Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann

What is it that makes Claudio Arrau's 1973 recording of Chopin's preludes and his 1974 recording of Schumann's papillons so ineffably beautiful? It's not his technique. A pupil of a pupil of Liszt, Arrau had been one of the great super virtuosos of the middle years of the twentieth century; by the time these recordings were made, his technique ...

Chopin: Piano Sonata No. 3; Fantasy (2004) more music like this

performed by Claudio Arrau (piano), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Alceo Galliera (conductor)
composed by Carl Maria von Weber, Felix Mendelssohn, Frédéric Chopin

For listeners who came of age in the latter decades of the twentieth century, Claudio Arrau was the soulful pianist who produced some of the most beautiful -- and some of the most deliberate -- recordings of the Romantic repertoire ever made. For listeners who came of age in the central decades of the century, however, Arrau was the soulful ...
