Grieg: Lyric Pieces (Performed on Grieg's Piano)
from: EMI Classics
: :Grieg's 66 Lyric Pieces range from simple pretty tunes like the early 'Arietta' that opens this disc to more extended pieces like the dashing 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen' to impressionistic miniature tone poems like the late 'Summer Evening.' Here, Andsnes plays 24 of them, well-chosen to cover a representative selection from the complete sets. He plays them beautifully, with a lovely tone, virtuoso polish when such is called for, as in the express ride of 'March of the ...

Nancarrow: Studies for Player Piano
from: Wergo Germany
: :To speak of Conlon Nancarrow's music for player piano shouldn't be mistaken to suggest some still broader range of musical output of which the composer's piano rolls are but a subset. Quite the contrary: Nancarrow's meticulous scores--generally unplayable, at least by most primates--are the body of his life's work. This five-CD set contains dozens upon dozens of his studies, each a fairly self-contained exploration of tempo, pitch, rhythm, counterpoint--and the interaction between pairings of those core musical categories. ...

Bach 2000: The Complete Bach Edition (Includes Commemorative Book) (Box Set)
: :The Bach renaissance--which began in earnest in the early 19th century thanks to the efforts of Felix Mendelssohn and others--inspired an endeavor of far-reaching significance. It led to the founding of the Bach Society in 1850, with the goal of gathering and publishing the composer's complete works, and thus set into motion one of the great projects of musical scholarship. That effort has continued and been refined throughout the 20th century, ultimately influencing not only our perception of ...
