【Description】
For many decades the orchestras of the German broadcasting service SWR have worked together with many famous musicians from all over the world, including the outstanding pianists selected for this collection, among them Clara Haskil, Jörg Demus, Paul Badura-Skoda, Alicia de Larrocha, Wilhelm Backhaus, and Géza Anda. Furthermore, Chilean pianist Claudio Arrau (1903–1991) is regarded as one of the supreme keyboard masters of the 20th century and must feature in any comparative survey of performances of the central repertoire from Beethoven to Brahms. Annie Fischer (1914–1995), a pupil of Ernst von Dohnányi later went on to make some legendary recordings with Otto Klemperer. Friedrich Gulda (1930–2000) polarized the music scene by embracing the parallel worlds of classical music and jazz in equal measure. He was not only one of the most brilliant pianists of the 20th century with regard to tone and technique, but also one of the wittiest and most musically competent. For decades Wilhelm Kempff (1895–1991) was seen as the leading interpreter of German music from Beethoven and Schubert through Schumann and Liszt to Brahms.

【Description】
“one of the very best pianists to have come out of Spain … Unlike many names who have offered themselves in this nationalist repertoire, she has an impeccably clean technique, considerable strength verve and temperament, but a level enough head to keep her from exaggerating effects to win applause, plus a delicate poetic sense without sentimentalising.” “Granados founded the Barcelona conservatory which now bears the name of his most dedicated pupil, Frank Marshall, who in turn, passed on to a new generation – principal among them Alicia de Larrocha” (Gramophone) 

【PRODUCER NOTE】
Source material here was of very high quality. Pitch correction and stabilization and repairs to dropouts and bad splices that afflicted previous releases allow these landmark recordings to be heard as never before”
