5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb at 80! One wonders how!,
By Sancho Sánchez "jmlopeza" (Burwood, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Claudio Arrau, The 80th Birthday Recital - Recorded Live at Avery Fisher Hall, New York City [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A piano Maestro on duty for his 80th birthday, relying on his unfailing technique to deliver mature, masterly renditions of deeply loved works he has been demonstrating to several new generations possibly ever since his formal European début recital at Kunstlerhaus on 10 December 1914!This KULTUR edition includes a presenter (slightly intrusive at times) and a most lovely surprise at the end which I should not reveal. The original Philips VHS edition (no longer available) and the Hong Kong Philips DVD copy (occasionally available on eBay) do not include the above lovely surprise or have the benefit of a presenter. Item indispensable for serious collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars
*Extra-ordinary* performance of Maestro Claudio Arrau at 80!,
This review is from: Claudio Arrau, The 80th Birthday Recital - Recorded Live at Avery Fisher Hall, New York City [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Maestro Claudio Arrau's interpretations are second to none. It does not matter who the composer is, seldom have I heard a pianist who interprets compositions so well and his technique is unmatched. His recordings of Chopin's Etudes are also amazing. He has this uncanny ability to transcend himself with the mind-set that is required for any composer whose works he performs.
His recording of Beethoven's Appassionata is a revelation (especially at 80). I would give anything to resurrect him, so I could potentially enter his piano competitions and learn from this grand master. Maestro Claudio Arrau *is* a genius.
