Product Description
CD Description
Marking Alfred Brendel's 80th birthday, this stunning collection of Beethoven’s entire Piano works, is a Beethoven and Brendel fan must-have. Brendel’s Beethoven is represented by his analogue traversal (1970–77) of the 32 Piano Sonatas and the 5 Piano Concertos, long unavailable, and including the Choral fantasia (with LPO/Haitink, recorded 1976-77) and now packaged as a cap box.

I prefer the simplicity of paper sleeves,the whole package takes up less room on my crowded shelves.The music,it need not be stated,is fabulous,Al proves yet again that his detractors are bizarrely mistaken.How can anyone doubt his abilities?Is there jealously involved.or is it because he is something of a scholar as well as a player?
For those with ears,this is beyond superlatives.

my wife received this for her birthday. i get to listen to a master performing on a regular basis. a LOVELY set of music, beautifully recorded. the sonatas in particular. lovely!!!!
might say that just putting the cd into a paper holder, given the price, and for recordings made twenty plus years ago, is a bit off. packaging could be better.

A classic and probably Brendel's best set (I prefer it to the later one). An easy five star.
But in an era where classical CD sales are plummeting, offering such a lame package of old performances at this price is very much indicative of where the industry has gone wrong. Expect a simple cardboard box (nothing luxurious there), CDs in a lousy paper sleeve and a pathetic excuse of a booklet with just lists the tracks.
Brilliant Classics would sell this kind of set for half of the price.
