This collection features some of the greatest composers ever to record, along with disciples playing pieces by their masters. The disciples fall largely into two main ‘schools’: the Chopin/Schumann axis and the Liszt/Leschetizky group, offering piquant contrast in the piano styles that survived in the playing of Artur Rubinstein and Vladimir Horowitz, respectively. The recordings were selected for performance quality as well as historical and sonic considerations. Audio conservation: Ward Marston | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Jean Yves Thibaudet (piano) “Thibaudet is always poetically refined and plays with delicacy and colour. He is immaculately controlled in Grainger's wonderful Ramble on the Last Love Duet from Der Rosenkavalier, while in music of greater lyrical simplicity he is suave and knowing.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 **** “…rarely has a pianist sounded so in love with his chosen repertoire. Wherever you turn you will hear playing of a princely lustre and virtuosity, and old-style pianism shot through with a wholly modern gloss and precision. Recorded in suitably sumptuous and opulent sound, this recital makes it abundantly clear why Thibaudet was very much the apple of Horowitz's eye.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2007 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
