The last and never-before-released recordings of American pianist William Kapell - the latest installment in Sony BMG Mastworks’ reDiscovered series, featuring five works new to Kapell’s discography.

A virtuoso pianist of the mid-twentieth century, William Kapell’s brooding good looks and explosive interpretations of Russian piano literature made him a star. His death in a plane crash at the age of 31 put an end to a career marked by fiery personality, technical mastery, and unstinting devotion to his craft. Many considered him the first virtuoso American pianist — certainly the most famous one until Van Cliburn — whose early death denied him more enduring popularity. These recordings are a stirring reminder of the talent upon which his fame rested during his lifetime.

This digitally remastered two-disc set compiles performances from four of the concerts on Kapell’s tour of Australia and makes them available for the first time as a lasting tribute to the incredible talent and influence of William Kapell.
