豪爾赫·波雷 彈奏蕭邦/貝多芬/舒曼/德布西 RIAS錄音第三集 Bolet: The RIAS recordings, Vol. III

Repertoire Novelties Jorge Bolet:
Invaluable sound documents from one of the
greatest pianists of the twentieth century

The third and final volume of the Berlin radio recordings by Cuban-born American
pianist Jorge Bolet on audite presents repertoire novelties. With the exception of
the Fledermaus paraphrase, all recordings are released for the first time.

Once again, Bolet’s performances document his universality and unceasing inquisitiveness,
as well as his phenomenal musicianship and ability to adapt his virtuosity to
diverse works. These recordings are therefore invaluable documents of a musician
who today is justly considered one of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century.

This selection comprises works of Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Dello Joio, Franck,
Godowsky, Grieg, Liszt and Schumann. Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto did not
form part of Bolet’s regular repertoire: it is the only live recording on this edition.
Further highlights include Schumann’s Third Piano Sonata as well as major works
by Chopin, such as the complete Op. 25 Études, in Bolet’s masterful, lyrical interpretations.
As an “encore”, Bolet plays Godowsky’s Concert Paraphrase of Strauss’
Die Fledermaus.
