Free Music Notes for The Final Sessions [Box Set]

Free Music Review: A wonderful summation
Hit: 5 Stars

This Final Sessions release captures Arrau's tone better than any CD album I have heard. From the intial English Suites, all four of which were recorded during Arrau's Debussy sessions in Switzerland. The Beethoven is from Arrau's final Beethoven cycle, left incomplete at the time of his death and vary somewhat from his 60's set containig the concerto's and variations.
The Schubert is wonderful. I can imagine a better vehicle for Arrau's wonderful sound and legato than D894. The Debussy, attainable only on Warner France, is also very incitful. Arrau does not subscribe to the Gieseking haze, but rather combines a germanic profundity with Michelangli's precision.
I recommend this for Arrau fans-though the devoted fan will probably have much of this already. Remember-much of this is different from his previous releases
. Highly recommended.
