Beethoven. Concerto No.5. Etc, Moiseiwitsch

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No.21, Andante favori, Piano Concerto No.5; Schumann: Kreisleriana Op.16, Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Chopin: Ballade No.3

Pianist Benno Moiseiwitsch won the Anton Rubinstein Prize when he was just 9 years old. He captivated audiences with his elegance and virtuosity. This three disc set contains performances of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.21, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and more. But the real gem here is the disc of previously unpublished interviews given during the 1950s including the audio from a televised interview on Words and Music with Jack Payne that includes a performance of Chopin’s Ballade No.3.
