Claudio Arrau Plays Beethoven (Remastered)

The music of Beethoven was a central focus of Claudio Arrau’s post-war European recordings with Columbia, including the first major modern version of the complete cycle of piano concertos with Alceo Galliera and the Philharmonia Orchestra. This collection includes the very best of these legendary recordings and demonstrate the ease of Arrau in the Beethovenian repertoire. It also includes a range of sonatas as well as rarities like two movements of the Gassenhauer Trio with the Weissgerber brothers – a precious testimony of Arrau’s very few chamber recordings.
