Background: Martha Argerich is one of Deutsche Grammophon's most charismatic artists. In the 1990s DG released the successful Martha Argerich Collection on 11 CDs. Now they are bringing out a completely revamped concept of the Collection, starting with the 8 solo LPs she made for DG between 1960 and 1983.

These were among the most celebrated recordings of their time - each one a revelation of this unique artist’s genius. Here, for the first time, they have been brought together in one box-set, in chronological order, as originally programmed, with original LP-cover artwork on the individual CD sleeves, and all-new liner notes (by Jed Distler), plus some rare photos (including an unpublished one of Ms Argerich with Friedrich Gulda in Vienna, 1955). The recordings are essential listening - especially since they have been newly remastered for this edition, with optimal sound quality. For those who know and love these recordings, this is the edition to have.
