Description:

[Classical Masters No. 11] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. This is the only collaboration between Weissenberg and Ozawa. Weissenberg and Ozawa are the only musicians to have performed together on this disc, and it is also valuable in that Weissenberg has never recorded these two pieces elsewhere. The two musicians play the music without any pedantry, following the centripetal force of the music, which is fascinating.
