Description:

[Classical Department Store "Here's What Everyone Loves" - Concerto Edition No. 2] Here's What Everyone Loves When it comes to classical music, 100 pieces and 100 titles are the first 100 pieces and 100 titles! The world's oldest classical label, Deutsche Grammophon, which boasts a history of over 120 years, and Decca (including the former Philips), which celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2019 and is home to conductor Seiji Ozawa, pianist Mitsuko Uchida, and other greats. The series of evergreen masterpieces from both Decca and Philips labels will be released! We conducted a survey of about 25,000 people in the classical music industry and members of our newsletter. The campaign will release 20 titles in each genre every two weeks for a total of 100 titles. Backhaus, the greatest pianist of the 20th century and the "Lion King of the keyboard," recorded two masterpieces of Beethoven's piano concertos at the peak of his maturity. His powerful and beautiful mastery of the art of the master, developed on a grand scale, will forever be immortalized. The brilliant "Emperor" and the lyrical No. 4 are a delightful combination that allows us to enjoy the charms of both sides of the saint of music all at once. [Performed by] Wilhelm Backhaus (piano), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (conductor), recorded in Vienna in April 1958 (2) and June 1959 (1) ●SHM-CD specification ●green color label coating ●commentary included ●booklet
