Alfred Brendel's personal choice of previously unreleased live and BBC Radio recordings on 2CDs for the price of one. These performances date from BBC studio recordings and concerts given between 1968 and 2001 and all broadcast by the BBC.

While Beethoven is a major element in this 2-CD set with a performance of the 'Diabelli' Variations, and Piano Sonata No.28; there are also selections from Mendelssohn and 2 of the rarely- heard Elegies by Busoni, and even more of a rarity (and a composer not usually associated with Brendel) Chopin's Andante spianato & Grande Polonaise in E flat.

On 5 January 2006 Alfred Brendel celebrated his 75th birthday and an association with Philips as an exclusive artist of over thirty-five years. To mark Alfred Brendel's 75th birthday four 2-CD sets were released of music by composers closely identified with him and under the overall title 'Artists' choice'. The selection of repertory and specific recordings were chosen by Alfred Brendel himself and this new set features the pianist's personal choice of live performances of a selection of works which he feels best convey his musical intentions.

Estimated despatch 5-10 days after ordering.
