Purchasers of Decca's 2005 Radu Lupu Edition -- three budget-priced collections devoted to Schubert, Beethoven, and Brahms -- may be hesitant to buy the new "complete Decca solo recordings" box set. The earlier sets are worth hanging onto for Lupu's complete Beethoven piano concertos with Mehta and the Israel PO; the Brahms D minor concerto with Edo de Waart and the London Philharmonic; and Lupu's 1986 recording of the Beethoven Quintet for piano and winds.
What's new to the 10-disc Decca box are Beethoven's opus 49 piano sonatas (recorded 1977), both sets of Schubert's Impromptus (1982), and, weirdly, Lupu's 1970 debut recording of Beethoven's C minor piano concerto with Lawrence Foster and the LSO. This set also rescues Lupu's 1993 Schumann disc from oblivion, which was long overdue.

But this and you get ten discs of simply magical pianism from one of the greatest pianists of our time. Just listen to Lupu's sense of touch and you know that this is something really special. The Schubert in particular is superb, as is the Schumann - full of life and fantasy. Of course, there are other ways of playing this music, especially the Beethoven, but Lupu's way is one that will bring immense satisfaction. One oddity is the performance of the Beethoven concerto as the box says 'The Solo Recordings.' Maybe it is put in as a filler. Th performance is certainly worth hearing as a bonus.

This is a superb compilation and an excellent bargain. Radu Lupu is a marvellous pianist especially his Brahms. First heard about it on Radio 3 where the ever vigilant Rob Cowan played a track.
