This 10-CD set celebrates the work of internationally renowned German pianist Beethoven, Wilhelm Backhaus. Contains all his concert recordings, the most popular sonatas and waltz variations. Wilhelm Backhaus (1884-1969) was recognized and celebrated internationally as a leading authority for classical-romantic piano music. How well-deserved this praise was can especially be heard in the Beethoven Concertos and Diabelli Variations, which are included in this 10-CD box set and which critics consider "pioneering" to this day. Early on, Backhaus had become a world-renowned German pianist. At the age of sixteen he gave his first concert in London. In 1905 he won the coveted Anton Rubinstein Prize in Paris, competing against Klemperer and Bartok. Their debut in the United States in 1912 was followed by tours of South America and Australia. Twenty-eight years later, he returned to New York, a period that is also impressively documented on this CD collection. As an interesting "encore" for collectors, there are also examples of rolls that Backhaus recorded in the 1920s for use on player pianos, which were often preferred to the gramophone for their superior sound quality.
