For those members who remember and sometimes yearn for the days when a recording came in a cardboard sleeve filled with interesting information, this phenomenal collection will be like a fantastic time machine. This collection provides a wonderful overview of the greatest LP recordings of the legendary Vladimir Horowitz, each one beautifully remastered and packaged in an exact replica of the original LP sleeve.
Beyond the packaging, however, there is the music and what an amazing array of great recordings this package provides. Within the 10 CDs Horowitz plays some of the best piano works by Chopin, Rachmaninov, Schumann, Beethoven, Bach, Debussy and many others.
What better way to recapture the good old days than with this collection of superb performances and special packaging.
