About

A completely reworked version of the 1999 DG Edition, now split between DG and Decca recordings, this set contains 17 CDs in a capbox.

The Pollini recordings form the backbone of the collection (Etudes, Sonatas, Polonaises, Scherzos) whilst new DG Highlights include Zimerman's Concertos, Blechacz's Preludes and Pires's Nocturnes.

New from Decca are Arrau's Piano Works with orchestra and Ashkenazy's Mazurkas and Waltzes.
