Claudio Arrau- Beethoven: 12 Piano Sonatas, the 5 Piano Concertos (Remastered 2022)

The pianist Claudio Arrau fully deserves the epithet "legendary": a sovereign technical command, a deep patience and a gravitation towards weighty matters, enriched by his study with 'philosopher pianists' such as Busoni and Martin Krause. Made in London from the late '40s to the late '50s, this collection of profound and impassionate recordings is a striking illustration of his Beethovenian authority.Track List Piano Sonata No. 18 in E-Flat Major Op. 31 No. 3 "The Hunt": I.
