Piano Recital: Schwetzinger Festival
Live recordings of the great pianist Claudio Arrau include definitive interpretations from Arrau's core repertoire. Original source tapes were used for the digital transfer. Arrau's brilliance lay in the fact that he did not embrace flamboyant virtuosity for its own sake, but chose to present the works of his beloved masters simply, beautifully, and with intellectual honesty. Thus, here he is heard in a live concert performance playing the works of the composers he loved most.
