The Piano - The Ultimate Piano Collection Of The Century - Box Set 100CDs

Label : Brilliant

Format : Flac (image + cue)

Cover : Yes

Whether you agree with the guitarist Andres Segovia, who remarked that ‘the piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth’, or with the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, for whom the piano was ‘a little orchestra in itself’, never has so comprehensive a sound-history of the instrument been assembled in a single, commercial set as this new Piano 100 box from Brilliant Classics.

Opening with the godfather of the keyboard sonata, Domenico Scarlatti, and closing with one of the great devotional masterpieces of the last century, Messiaen’s Vingt Regards, Piano 100 takes in, along the way, the complete sonatas of Mozart, Beethoven and Scriabin, the complete solo-piano music of Chopin, Debussy and Ravel, warhorses like Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, masterpieces of the miniature by Grieg and Janacek, conservative studies by Czerny and wacky journeys into the instrument’s far reaches with Cage.

All of pianistic life is here, and among your guides are some of the great names to have touched the keyboard in the recording era: Alfred Brendel, Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter.
