Ignace Paderewski - The Condon Collection: Masters of The Piano Roll - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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 Ignace Friedman performs his original Piano works.

One of the most revered pianists of all time, Paderewski was also a composer, diplomat and served as the third Prime Minister of Poland. He was extremely popular internationally beginning in the early 1900's and gave concerts worldwide until his death in 1941. These classic recordings from the late 1930's capture the master interpreting the works of Chopin. All selections newly remastered.
