Terrific CD collection!!!

[molto_vivace]

Hello,

found this forum a couple of month ago, visiting every day.
I studied at Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich at the age of 16, 2 years later I broke my finger during sports lesson at school. Therefore I had to quit - had a break for about 6 years, playing now for 3 years and better than ever before! Never give up!

The newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung released today a new CD collection with the 14 most famous pianists. I'm trying to translate the article for those who are interested

I'm not trying to do advertisement, cause I always dreamt about such a collection, and I ordered it today.

- 14 great pianists, recorded on 20 CDs

- legendary recordings in best quality, overworked from the best German music technician

- Prof. Joachim Kaiser comments each artist, including musical examples

- 1500 min. pleasure of classical music

- each booklet contains the artist's biography and comments on the works

I think there only exists a german version

https://sz-klassik.sueddeutsche.de/sz-klassik/angebote

the artists are linked on the right frame, you can browse their biography and the works they play on this collection.

beneath the artists picture you'll find a link "List der Werke" = Index of the recordings


Sorry for my bad english

regards,

Karl

OH MY F****** GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

That is like a dream. Kempff, Brendel, Pollini, Arrau, ..... all together.

Do you know if they have international deliveries or not? If they have, I'm gonna buy it for sure

so what is the price in U.S. dollars? or at least an approximation.

[Spatula]

I'd aleady estimate $300 US, but I haven't even looked at the product yet. so this is a wild figure.

[BoliverAllmon]

I saw the number 95 but i didn't know if that was the german price or something totally different.

[molto_vivace]

the european price is 98 €, that's about 123 US $. they offer the compilation in austria switzerland and germany. But they're going to sell it worldwide, as far as I know!

[BoliverAllmon]

that isn't too expensive at all for 20 cd's. Normally cd's cost 20 a pop 123 is cheap compared to 400.
