Rudolf Serkin Edition (9 CDs)

Rudolf Serkin's relationship with Deutsche Grammophon came late in his career but yielded three major recording projects - 15 Mozart piano concertos with Claudio Abbado, Beethoven's last three piano sonatas, and his only recording with Mstislav Rostropovich (Brahms' cello sonatas). Collected for the first time together in one original jackets edition. 28-page booklet with liner notes by Jed Distler (English/German)'
