Description:

[Panorama Series: Semi-New Pressings / Encore Pressings] "Panorama" is a series for beginners of classical music that compiles masterpieces of classical music by composer in two-disc sets using Deutsche Grammophon and Decca sound sources. With the exception of a few operas and other works, there are no fade-outs or movement excerpts, and the series is based on the recording of all the movements of a single work. The performances are all masterpieces that can be recommended with confidence. This is an encore pressing of 40 carefully selected titles. This is an album of 37 ancient and modern masterpieces written for piano, from Bach to Gershwin, performed by 19 famous pianists including Kemp, Guileris, Michelangeli, Weissenberg, Barenboim, Argerich, and others.
