Claudio Arrau (1903-1991) is a pianist fully deserving of the epithet 'legendary'. His rigorous intellect and sense of the sublime found expression in his transcendent technique and sumptuous, yet lucid sonorities. The recordings in this 24CD collection, a significant portion of Arrau's legacy from the years between 1921 and 1962, are indispensable to his extensive discography. They can now be heard in their full glory, thanks to a process of restoration and HD remastering using the original tapes (for recordings from the LP era) or the best available source (for 78s). Among them are four world premiere releases: Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30, op. 109, a Chopin étude, and two pieces by Liszt.
"Arrau apparently regarded this recording of the Brahms concerto as the finest he ever made, and it unfolds with such fabulous certainty and coherence;, the solo playing often dazzles, the musical mind underpinning it utterly focused, too." (The Guardian Three Stars 1947 Brahms)
