Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (piano) Filmed at the RTSI Auditorium, Lugano, 7 April 1981 “I do not play for others, but only for myself in the service of the composer. It makes no difference whether there is an audience or not; when I am at the keyboard I am lost. And I think of what I play, and of the sound that comes forth, which is a product of the mind.“ Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli |

| |  | Daniel Barenboim
“…enjoyment of the disc came from Barenboim’s richly imaginative, very personally committed response to the composer’s overflowing romanticism. He leaves us in no doubt that every note sprang from an acutely
susceptible heart… technical supremacy pales into insignificance alongside his musical insight, and nowhere more so than in the moonlit poetry of the Andante and the nostalgic Ruckblick, both exquisitely nuanced and
shaded within an unbroken liquid flow. As for the finale, he finds unity in its diversity before a masterly revelation of Brahms’s contrapuntal cunning in the triumphant home-coming.” Gramophone Magazine |

| |  | Brahms - Early Piano Music Volume 1
Young pianist, Hardy Rittner performs these very early piano pieces by Brahms. Schumann heard Brahms performing these pieces and the rapturous reception he gave them, made the young composer famous over night. Rittner plays on a Johann Baptist Streicher Piano dated 1851 from the Collection by Gert Hecher, Vienna. So well preserved and cared for is this instrument that it still has many of its original strings! “…it is difficult to imagine this glorious music sounding more persuasive on an authentic instrument….Far from making allowances for the 150-year old mechanism, Rittner rejoices in its unique tonal properties, pushing it
right to the edge in the outer movements of the Sonata, yet producing a magically veiled sound in the second of the Op. 10 Ballades.” International Piano, July/August, 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
