Product Description
Praga presents the first release in a series of recordings by the legendary pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, specially remastered for SACD. Michelangeli is widely considered to be one of the finest pianists of the 20th Century and has also been hailed as the most important Italian pianist since Busoni. Michelangeli was known for his note-perfect performances in concert, although his repertoire was strikingly small for a concert pianist of such stature. Owing to his obsessive perfectionism relatively few recordings were officially released during Michelangeli's lifetime, but these are augmented by numerous recordings (both authorized and bootleg) of live performances. This disc collects 'approved' recordings of works by Ravel and Debussy recorded live in 1960, carefully remastered to DSD from mono and stereo tapes.
