Notes

This CD is CD 20 of Various - 111 Years Of Deutsche Grammophon | The Collector's Edition and not an individual release.

"Gilels and Beethoven might have been made for each other. Both exuded a formidable sense of authority, both drew throughout their lives on the full resources of the piano. Both were powerfully physical men. And both were seekers after musical truth in all its dimensions." - Jeremy Siepmann
