Claudio Arrau: Rarities 1929-1951

The young Claudio Arrau made records in Berlin and London which reveal the lasting qualities of his pianistic artistry: a sovereign technical command, and deep patience with a gravitation towards weighty matters, which was enriched by his study with "philosopher pianists" such as Busoni and Martin Krause, and that resulted in these profound and impassioned recordings of Beethoven, Brahms, and Chopin. Most of the recordings on this release have not previously appeared on CD, and all of them are newly remastered for this tribute to a master pianist of the 20th century.
