About this product
An edition combining the art of two pianistic giants of the modern era, the much- admired, endlessly-versatile André Previn and the world-renowned Italian master Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Across three marvellous solo piano albums and his first recording of George Gershwin's immortal 'Rhapsody in Blue', Previn displays a unique affinity with the Great American Songbook. These recordings were originally made for Lester Koenig's Contemporary tag more than six decades ago, when they were received with enthusiasm. The passage of time only serves to further illuminate Previn's remarkable insight and sensitivity. One cannot help but be moved by his interpretations of the work of the songwriters Harold Arlen, Vernon Duke and Jerome Kern; in whose output he finds lyricism, colour and swing. These recordings are a dream; up there with the best work of Previn's entire career. Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli is regarded one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. A musical aristocrat in a class of his own. A perfectionist. The pearl-like precision of his playing caught the ear of many in the jazz fraternity, including Bill Evans who was an ardent admirer. Michelangeli's Debussy is incomparable. At Abbey Road he made Ravel's Piano Concerto his own and the live recordings made in London, Turin and Prague before spellbound audiences are the stuff of legend; extraordinary depth of feeling, a magical world of sensuality.

André Previn, who died earlier this year, was a German-American pianist, composer, arranger, and conductor. His career started by arranging and composing Hollywood film scores for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Previn was involved in the music for over 50 films over his entire career. He won four Academy Awards for his film work and ten Grammy Awards for his recordings (and one more for his Lifetime Achievement). He was also the music director of the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Oslo Philharmonic, as well as the principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In jazz, Previn was a pianist-interpreter and arranger of songs from the Great American Songbook, was piano-accompanist to singers of jazz standards, and was a trio pianist. All along the way, his efforts were recorded; much of the way, they garnered acclaim and awards. Ten years into his career he released this record which helped to cement his rapidly growing reputation and secured him a well-deserved place in music royalty. Album Tracks 1. Should I 2.
