[ Deutche Grammophon / 9 CD Box Set ]

"Serkin was an artist who shaped the world's conceptions of the "Viennese school," and there's much to be gained by tracing the evolution of his style over his long life.' (AllMusic.com)

• Rudolf Serkin's relationship with Deutsche Grammophon came late in his career but yielded three major recording projects - 15 Mozart piano concertos with Claudio Abbado, Beethoven's last three piano sonatas, and his only recording with Mstislav Rostropovich (Brahms' cello sonatas)

• Collected for the first time together in one original jackets edition

• 28-page booklet with liner notes by Jed Distler (English/German)
