Leon Fleisher is considered a living legend among the distinguished American pianists who emerged in the late forties and early fifties. Students travel from all over the globe to work with him or even just sit in on his master classes. The new 23-CD box set, Leon Fleisher: The Complete Album Collection, defines the personal and musical twists of his career. Beginning with his win at the 1952 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, the repertoire in this set includes Fleisher’s iconic Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Schumann and Grieg concerto collaborations with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, along with his highly acclaimed solo recordings. Also represented is Fleisher at the peak of his later career when he had been diagnosed with focal dystonia in his right hand and was able to play concertos and recitals with only his left hand. Leon Fleisher’s musical legacy will stand the test of time and The Complete Album Collection will enliven and stimulate music lovers and budding pianists alike.
