Aldo Ciccolini: Enregistrements EMI 1950-1991
This 56 CD collection contains numerous items which have become available for the first time (such as Mozart sonatas and Bach Inventions previously only released in Japan, or his first Debussy disc, dating from 1969), or which have never before been released, such as the magnificent 'Pictures at an Exhibition' recorded in 1976. With particular care taken over the transfers, including remastering of all the late recordings, this box will convince any remaining skeptics that Aldo Ciccolini, though born in Naples, holds a place at the very summit of French pianism. Includes works by Albeniz, Arensky, Bach, Beethoven, Borodin, Brahms, Chabrier, Chopin, Couperin, Falla, Faure, Granados, Grieg, Hahn, D'Indy, Kabalevsky, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Mompou, Mussorgsky, Poulenc, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Rameau, Ravel, Rossini, Saint-Saens, Scarlatti, Schubert, Schumann, Tchaikovsky.
