Album Notes & Community Reviews
This disc brings together Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's recordings of Brahms's Four Ballades, Op. 10, with the Schubert piano sonatas D. 537 and Op. 7. Michelangeli, the Italian pianist famed for his perfectionism and crystalline tone, made few recordings, and each remains a reference document of twentieth-century pianism.
