Julius Katchen Complete Decca Recs [35CD]

Julius Katchen

The Complete Decca Recordings

Limited edition 35CD set

A child prodigy of startling promise, Julius Katchen matured into an artist of unique artistry. His death at age 42 denied the world of an artist with exciting, "no holds barred" pianism, balanced by a depth of sonority and ravishing cantabile. 90 years after his birth, he is regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century with this 35CD collection of his complete recordings for the Decca label.
