It is not a profession to be a pianist and musician. It is a philosophy, a conception of life that cannot be based on good intentions or natural talent.
First and foremost there must be a spirit of sacrifice - Michelangeli
In this edition Deutsche Grammophon brings together for the first time all the performances by Michelangeli that have appeared on the Yellow Label.
Also included are the legendary early recordings of Beethoven and Scarlatti that he made for DECCA.
Excellent documentation includes numerous rare photographs and a new appreciation of the enigmatic pianist by DG producer, conductor and longtime Michelangeli collaborator Cord Garben.
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was one of this century's most outstanding pianists. --Gramophone
Michelangeli opened my ears, and showed me what a truly great pianist can deliver. He played Debussy's Images and Children's Corner, and I can still hear almost every note. He was devastatingly impressive. --Christian Zacharias, BBC Music Magazine
Michelangeli focuses and clarifies with every miraculous stroke of the keys, etching these miniatures in pristine colours, his meticulous technique bathing each scene in brilliant sunshine. --BBC Music Magazine on DEBUSSY Préludes Book 1
