Heidsieck,Eric Eric Heidsieck: Complete Erato & Hmv Recordings CD

Limited 27 CD box set. Luminosity, clarity and depth of colour characterise the playing of ?ric Heidsieck, born in Reims in 1936. A student of French masters Marcel Ciampi and Alfred Cortot, he went to Wilhelm Kempff to further his exploration of Beethoven. Heidsieck's career, encompassing more than 2000 concerts around the world and duo partnerships with his pianist wife Tania and cellist Paul Tortelier, has brought him particular fame in Japan. His distinguished interpretations of Beethoven's complete piano sonatas, recorded in the years around 1970, are complemented here by a previously unreleased 1958 version of the 'Hammerklavier' Sonata. A substantial proportion of the box (eight of the 27 CDs) comprises CD premieres - performances of Beethoven, Handel, Hindemith, Couperin, Debussy, Roussel and Ravel.
