The Farewell Tour 2008 - A personal selection of his favourite performances specially chosen by Alfred Brendel.

The music on these releases is absolutely representative of a number of the composers with which Brendel has been associated during a professional career that now spans fifty-five years on the concert platform, and an equally long recording career – of which the past thirty-five years have been as an exclusive Philips artist. This set of CDs is called "Artist’s Choice" and represents a personal selection of recordings – both live and studio – which Alfred Brendel is particularly proud of and would like to share again with listeners. The recordings included in this series span a thirty year period – from 1972 (Liszt’s Totentanz and Piano Concerto No.2) to 2002 (Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor, K397) – and feature solo piano repertory and concertos.
