Andsnes Leif Ove: The Complete Warner Classics

Leif Ove Andsnes is a leading pianist of his time, known for his exceptional musicianship and subtil touch, his considerable technical flair being unfailingly put at the service of his interpretations. He was a pioneer for being the first home-trained superstar pianist to have emerged from Norway. This box is the story of a 20-year partnership that has yielded a rich seam of recorded treasures, first for Virgin and then for EMI. Running through this cornucopia of 34 albums (36 CDs), we find recurring themes: Grieg (Andsnes even recorded some Lyric Pieces on the composer's own piano at Troldhaugen), Nordic music in general, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Schubert.CD 1 BARTÓK Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2 · Sonata for solo violinCD 2 BRAHMS Piano Concerto No. 1 · 3 Intermezzi, Op. 117CD 3 BRAHMS Viola Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2 · SCHUMANN MärchenbilderCD 4 CHOPIN Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 & 3CD 5 CHOPIN Piano Sonata No. 2 · 4 Mazurkas · 5 ÉtudesCD 6 DVO?ÁK Piano Quintet · GRIEG Ballade · SZYMANOWSKI Sinfonia ConcertanteCD 7 GRIEG Piano Sonata · 12 Lyric Pieces...CD 8 GRIEG 24 Lyric PiecesCD 9 GRIEG Piano Concerto · 6 Lyric Pieces · LISZT Piano Concerto No. 2CD 10 GRIEG & SCHUMANN Piano Concertos CD 11 HAYDN 5 Piano Sonatas Hob.
