About This Item
2 Disc set. The Condon Collection, compiled by Australian musician and leading piano roll authority Denis Condon, documents major classical composers including Claude Debussy, George Gershwin and Sergei Rachmaninoff performing their famous piano works using a form of music storage and playback technology that predates modern recording techniques. Recorded between 1905 and 1933, and capturing every nuance of each individual performance, this extensive archive faithfully reproduces the playing styles and techniques of these legendary musicians and offers a unique opportunity to experience these rare performances and historical treasures first-hand, while also serving as a comprehensive archive of the reproducing piano's unique musical legacy. Up next Claude Debussy performs his original Piano works. Album Tracks 1. Préludes 1 I. Danseuses de Delphes 2. Préludes 1 X. La Cathédrale Engloutie 3. Préludes 1 XI. La Danse de Puck 4.
