This timeless collection is pretty much every piece you would expect to be included, and then some. A good variety of music to please every palate, from an inimitable and incredibly precise performance by Julia Fischer to Mari Kodama’s solo piano whose splendid movement allows you to experience the full glory of Beethoven’s music.

But that's no surprise, since PENTATONE has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from and over 150 surround-sound albums– each and every one a top-quality DSD recording.

This compilation can be enjoyed by both the curious beginner and classical aficionado. Includes music by Robert Schumann; Tchaikovsky;JS Bach; Corelli; Mendelssohn; Beethoven; Korngold; Rachmaninov
