Pires - Complete Chamber Music Recordings On Deutsche Grammophon [12 CD Box Set]

Chamber music has always formed the heart of Maria Joao Pires musicianship. Indeed, she has often commented that she is happier working with others than performing on her own. Not sharing a stage is very difficult for me, she once remarked (in an interview for ArtsJournal in 2012). You are apart from the group, apart from community, apart from everything. You become different and special. And, if you become different and special, youre alone.

With this original jackets box set Deutsche Grammophon concludes its series of 3 box sets that present the totality of Maria Joao Pires output for the Yellow Label. This third volume encompasses her complete chamber music recordings including classic performances with Auguste Dumay, Jian Wang, António Meneses, Pavel Gomziakov and Renaud Capuçon.
