From the Archives - Rediscovered Performances from Legendary Artists Released Digitally for the First Time by DG
On World Piano Day itself, Deutsche Grammophon’s YouTube channel plays host to an exclusive, hour-long film comprising seventeen clips rediscovered in the Yellow Label’s peerless archive and newly digitised. These performances, given by some of the world’s most legendary pianists, are here enjoying their first-ever digital release on Deutsche Grammophon. The film features close-up shots of the hands of such iconic artists as Vladimir Horowitz and Wilhelm Kempff, a sublime extract of Hélène Grimaud playing Busoni’s transcription of Bach’s Chaconne in D minor, and thrilling videos of the young Lang Lang performing pieces by Liszt, Mozart, Schumann and Sun Yiqiang.
