Complete for the first time, this 114-CD limited-edition collection features the entire recorded discography of pianist Alfred Brendel across the Philips and Decca labels. An exclusive artist for the Philips label since 1969, Brendel's discography is now among the most extensive of any pianist, reflecting a repertoire of solo, chamber and orchestral works by the major composers from the central European tradition from Bach through to Schoenberg.

If I belong to a tradition it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what he should do and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed. --Alfred Brendel

One of the greatest pianists in the world. --The Guardian

Brendel has always stood alone in what he does. He was a very individual voice when I first met him more than 40 years ago his concert life was on an upswing as he reached 40, but he had a large body of recordings already behind him that were evidence of a wide range of repertoire, delivered with insight and energy, and fuelled in their integrity by active interest in the visual arts, literature and humour.
