Icon: Artur Schnabel - Scholar of the Piano

Technical prowess came second behind emotion for this great firebrand of the piano, who counted Vienna, Berlin, London and the U.S. among his homes. These 8 CDs focus on the composers he loved best: Bach ( Toccatas in C Minor and D; Italian Concerto in F ), Beethoven (the piano sonatas known as Pathetique; Moonlight; Pastoral; Appassionata , and Waldstein ), Mozart ( Piano Concert No. 21 in C ) and Schubert ( Moments Musicaux ) and more-several tracks featuring Artur performing along with his son Karl Ulrich Schnabel!
