Complete Philips Recordings

An exclusive artist for the Philips label from 1969, Alfred Brendel’s discography is among the most extensive of any pianist, reflecting a repertoire of solo, chamber and orchestral works by the major composers from the central European tradition from Bach through to Schoenberg. This extraordinary legacy is documented in this 114-CD collection, comprising his complete recordings for Philips (as well as Decca, DG, and EMI) — first released in 2015 — is reissued as a testament to a great mind and revered artist. Developed in close collaboration with Alfred Brendel himself, this prodigious edition includes studio albums, live recordings and radio broadcasts. The set is accompanied by a 200-page book featuring a note by Brendel’s personal choice of writer, Misha Donat, an article by the pianist himself and an extensive tracklisting indicating his favourite recordings.
