Background: Wilhelm Kempff (1895-1991), one of the great piano masters, receives an exceptional tribute from the label with which he was most closely associated. This is a beautiful, limited-edition 35-CD box of Kempff's complete solo repertoire on DG and Decca Classics.

It includes the stereo Beethoven sonata cycle, the Schubert sonata cycle, generous anthologies of Bach, Brahms, Liszt, Schubert, and Schumann - plus Chopin and Baroque. There are many rarities, not readily available at present.

It comes with a Bonus CD of four early recordings from the 1930s - Bach, Beethoven, Schumann and Schubert/Liszt, all first-time releases - and a short series of spoken recordings by Kempff (synopses in English and French in booklet). The booklet essay is a warm tribute from piano expert Gregor Willmes.
