Album Notes
This set contains a hardcover book (192 pages) about the pianists and repertoire in the "Great Pianists of the 20th Century" series. It is packaged with a 2 CD digipak sampler.
This veritable "greatest hits" 2-CD sampler of immortal recordings and performances from the monumental 200-CD series issued by the Philips Music Group is an essential set for every lover of piano music. The first CD includes a classic performance by Wilhelm Backhaus of Chopin's Etude in G sharp minor, preceded by a few seconds of the pianist's famous warm-up "noodlings" at the piano. Chopin is also represented by Martha Argerich's ferocious and terrifying performance of the notoriously difficult Prelude in B flat minor. Another vintage track comes from Walter Gieseking, perhaps the finest Debussy player of the century, and his irreplaceable performance of "Minstrels" from Debussy's first book of Preludes.
On the second CD Julius Katchen gives a full-bodied reading of the Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G minor, a piece that is nicely contrasted by Wilhelm Kempff's delicate and shimmering performance of the same composer's Intermezzo in E. An equally valuable recording is Rachmaninov's elegant reading of his Etude-Tableaux in C. The CD closes with Krystian Zimerman's sprightly performance of Debussy's "La danse de Puck" from the second book of Preludes.
