Both of these works were world premiere recordings in the 1950s, and since the world-famous composer never worked on them again in a recording studio, this reissue by APR is sure to be an important addition to Brendel's discography.\n\nThe booklet also includes a discussion of Busoni and the Counterpoint Fantasy written especially for this release by Brendel himself, making this release a must for all piano fans, not to mention avid Brendel fans.\n\nRecorded in 1952 \u0026amp; 1953\n\nRemastered and sound restored by Andrew Halifax\n\n\n\n(Tokyo M-Plus)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apr (Uk)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50238288691489,"sku":"5024709156559","price":3090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5024709156559.jpg?v=1724916161","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5024709156559","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
