Lovingly restored, using the finest state-of-the-art technology, Medici Art's new series "CLASSIC ARCHIVE" features great performances from legendary artists, offering a unique glimpse into our classical musical heritage at an affordable mid-price. Alexis Weissenberg's spectacular technique and individual way of playing have made a lasting impression on twentieth-century art of piano- playing. Some of his recordings of the Russian repertoire especially have set a benchmark and are often cited as top recommendations. On stage he has a commanding presence, albeit never using theatrical or other non-musical gestures to deliver his message. Born in 1929 in Bulgaria, he studied there and in Jerusalem before going on to study in New York. With these recordings of the 1960s from various broadcast archives he spans a repertoire from Bach over Brahms and Chopin to Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Rachmaninov and Scriabin. The Petrushka Suite included on this DVD deserves special attention: for this famous film two entire weeks of shooting were necessary as well as a special piano conceived and constructed for this occasion just to fit the film director's ideas. It was worth it, however, as it had a very strong impact on Weissenberg's career: when Herbert von Karajan saw it in 1965, he immediately invited Weissenberg to play regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic, which consolidated the international career of the pianist. In the bonus film, Alexis Weissenberg talks about the Petrushka-Suite and what the piece meant to him.
