Artist(s):
Claudio Arrau

Conductor:
Eugene Ormandy

Background: One of the great pianists of the 20th century, Claudio Arrau arguably achieved his greatest postwar renown for the textual fidelity, spirituality and elegance of his Beethoven interpretations. This recording of the Piano Concerto No.3, characterized by strong and forthright playing in the outer movements, is the first of three he set down in the studio.

Arrau played Weber's Konzertstück throughout his career. This 1946 recording is notable for its lightness and fleetness of execution.
