Sonetto del Petrarca No. 104 in E Major
Claudio Arrau (1903-1991)
Live recording from the Circustheater Den Haag, 11/11/1988
(I was there and attended the complete recital. Despite the inevitable inaccuracies, memory lapses etc. it was an unforgettable experience. There was a depth in his sound that was truly unique; it is something that could only partly be captured by a microphone).

Why not upload the full recording of this remarkable recital...can't wait to listen to the other parts❤❤❤

The nobility of expression and tonal majesty are still very much there and the few small inaccuracies really don't matter. One of a kind!

Having slaved over this for 3 months I know it intimately! This was near the end of his life and I was so pleased to hear him play it, probably not so differently from in his youth. The cadenzas still sparkled, the tempo was just right, the conception marvellous.

I am so fortunate to have found this channel, and I humbly want to thank you. Your play list have many pianists I have never heard of. Arrau plays this piece by Franz Liszt with emotional artistry of sublime tenderness and feeling. ❤

For a moment I read "Sonetto 47" and thought "It cannot be 😮", but actually it wasn't 😂. I wonder why he didn't record the first Sonetto. His sound and intensity in his mature years are incredible 🤩.
