Fryderyck Chopin - Michelangeli Plays Chopin

The legendary Italian pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920-1995), playing at the height of his powers, performs Chopin's Sonata in B flat minor and other music by one of the instrument's most brilliant and idiomatic writers, in the famously rare 1962 RAI television recording, newly restored and re-mastered for this release. Michelangeli's fine control and perfect clarity - always present in his playing - have positioned him among the most outstanding recording artists of any generation.
