Paderewski was perhaps the most famous, and certainly the most highly paid, pianist who ever lived. In the years between 1890 and the First World War his fame reached levels now only reserved for the biggest pop stars and when he became prime-minister of Poland after the end of the war his deification was complete. He resumed his career in the 1920’s and continued to perform until his death. Unfortunately most of his recordings were made later in life and do not capture his playing in its prime, a fact which has somewhat damaged his posthumous reputation, so it is particularly important that these earliest recordings, which can redress the balance, are made available complete for the first time. This is playing very different in style from what we are used to today, but aside from its historic importance, taken on its own terms it is quite clear what a great communicator Padereswki was. And it’s good to be reminded in works like Liszt’s La Leggierezza study that at this point in his career there was nothing lacking in technique either. Several titles included are taken from Paderewski’s own test pressings of unissued discs held at the International Piano Archive, University of Maryland, and this is their first release. A must for collectors! “There are many wonderful, even matchless, performances here that, in addition, provide a welcome antidote to the text-before-personality cult that prevails today. When you listen to Paderewski the pianist you are also experiencing Paderewski the man.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Anton Rubinstein - Orchestral Works
“…Anton Rubinstein's Ocean is not the kind of phosphorescent eastern fantasy Rimsky-Korsakov was later to produce but rather a Mendelssohn-inspired northern sea with the occasional Lisztian rogue wave. The excellent George Hanson and his Wuppertalians deal... soulfully and flexibly with the sea-swells and the comfortable tunes that bob along on top... Karl Müller-Berghaus's arrangement of the First Russian Serenade provides a dash of native Slavic soul after the official fun and games of the Triumphal Overture.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2004 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Josef Hofmann plays Chopin & Encores
At his best in the second decade of the twentieth century, these were the years in which Hofmann made the majority of his recordings for the Aeolian Company’s Duo-Art Reproducing piano. This release includes many of his popular encore-pieces alongside a performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto. A grand harvest of perfect piano writing, this concerto has retained a special place in the heart of concert pianists, though conductors have little to do. In this performance Hofmann includes the orchestral parts on the piano. Piano roll ('Reproducing Piano') recordings from the early 20th century, replayed on a modern Steinway Concert Grand. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
