As Alfred Brendel celebrates his 80th birthday on 5 January 2011, Decca is marking this momentous occasion with FOUR major catalogue releases.
He's a legend of the piano world, revered and applauded the world over. For long an exclusive Philips Classics artist, Alfred Brendel is the recipient of the 2010 Gramophone Lifetime Achievement Award. Famed for his peerless interpretations of Viennese classics, 2011 sees Brendel celebrate his 80th birthday and for it we present four iconic sets - available at budget price for the first time.
The third release to mark Alfred Brendel's 80th birthday, is a stunning reissue of Alfred Brendel's digital recordings of Schubert's major piano works recorded between 1987-88.
Including Moments Musicaux, Impromptus and the "Wanderer" fantasy, this second Schubert cycle comes in a 7CD boxed set, displaying Brendel's impressions of the masterworks of Schubert's last six years.
