Alfred Brendel

This is a very nice collection, capturing for the interested listener Alfred Brendel's early work while he was still recording for Vanguard and before he joined the Philips label. (As far as I can determine so far these recordings were made in the 1950's - 1960's; Brendel moved to Philips in the 1970's? I'm finding it difficult to pin down the exact dates of these recordings, and Brendel's own website makes very little mention of these early recordings, listing his 'complete discography' without a single mention of his Vox or Vanguard albums - shameful!)

Nevertheless here they are, whether or not Universal Classics wants to acknowledge them or not! As I am able to determine recording dates and venues I will add that information here, but to begin with I've put together a complete listing of the works and composers since some of that information is not given here on Amazon, per normal practice.

Recordings are very good considering the age, and as always these bargain collections are well worth the modest outlay.
