It was Kempff’s perception that it was the function of a pianist’s virtuosity to serve, not to exploit; always the music had to be paramount. Like many great artists he was notably erratic, but any impulsiveness or spontaneity was always driven by artistic will and the search for new discoveries. Such was his inspiration, his recordings over his 60 year career – most of it for DG – are a treasure house of discovery; his Schubert recordings being among the finest examples, and not least remaining reference recordings of the repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"At his best, he played more beautifully than any of us\" - lavish and noteworthy praise for Wilhelm Kempff by Alfred Brendel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKempff recorded almost exclusively for DG over the span of his 60-year recording career, and now Deutsche Grammophon celebrates his inspired Schubert recordings - long a go-to set for collectors - with a new remastering to 24-bit\/192kHz. 9-CDs + Blu-ray Audio mastered at 24-bit\/192kHz presenting reference recordings of one of the great Schubertians.
