BARENBOIM A-Z Mendelssohn - Shostakovich | Deutsche Grammophon

This album is released as part of the complete digital A-Z library of extraordinary solo piano recordings, which highlight the musical development of without a doubt one of the most important musical personalities of our time, pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim.  

The collection presents his complete solo recordings on DG and Westminster — expanding on the 2017 physical edition to include all recordings since then: Pieces by Albéniz, Bartók, Dvorak and Debussy among others, as well as his 2020 recordings of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. The albums honor a career that spans over 70 years. Listeners can follow the artistic journey of Barenboim from his early recordings as a 13-year-old playing J.C. Bach, Brahms, Kabalevsky, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Pergolesi, and Shostakovich until today: a classical music world star whose repertoire and skills seem limitless.
