Claudio Arrau, the intellectual and profoundly reflective Chilean pianist, was one of the twentieth century's greatest interpreters of Beethoven. It has been said that the best way to enjoy Arrau’s records is to imagine yourself there in the concert hall while he is playing. Now, thanks to the Beethovenfest performances presented here, which were filmed in Bonn in 1970 and 1977, it becomes virtually possible for us to do just that. In these fine performances, Arrau appears to make the piano breathe and sing.
