Ah, there is no better way to start a New Year than with new music!
Actually, rather old music in this case, though newly-recorded: Complete Piano Works
I can't possibly tell you everything about this boxed set -- there are 16 CDs after all!
Tirimo, on the other hand, is probably known to all, though I am just learning about him. He is a Cypriot who spent much of his youth training in Italy, as I understand it.
The recordings are beautiful.
It will be just fine to give my old Brendel sonatas set a rest for a while, and spend some quality hours with Mr. Tirimo and his beautiful renditions of the most beautiful music ever written (sorry messrs Bach, Mozart, etc., but I'm with Schroeder on this one :) ).
This is an endless treasure trove. Here the old cliche is apt; whn listening to Brendel's, Arrau's or Kempff's Beethoven one senses listening to Brendel, Arrau or Kempff. With Tirimo one faces Beethoven himself.
