Decca

It takes only 10 discs to contain the complete solo Decca recordings of Radu Lupu, one of the great pianists of the late 20th century. It's also amazing that these few recordings stretch over a quarter of a century, from 1971 to 1995, making Lupu one of the most infrequently recorded of the great pianists; even Argerich and Michelangeli have outdistanced him.

This fabulous five disc set is replete with some of those old Stokowski warhorses all recorded in absolutely mind boggling Phase 4 sound, overblown perhaps but astounding for its time. Decca's remastering is absolutely magnificent and the discs are jam packed with almost six hours of music. This is another fine memorial to a great conductor who remained astonishingly vital until the very end of his life.

Un virtuoso del nuevo mundo con musicalidad del viejo mundo: las grabaciones completas de Decca de JOSHUA BELL, capturando la primera década de la carrera del violinista registrada. Decca firmó a Joshua Bell, de diecinueve años, en 1986 sobre la base de cintas de concierto hechas en privado. Bell había tomado un violín por primera vez a la edad de cuatro años, pero había estado tomando el instrumento en serio durante menos de una década. Su musicalidad y aptitud técnica fueron nutridas y entrenadas por Josef Gingold, un alumno de Eugène Ysaÿe.
