1. BACH - Overture in the French Style / BEETHOVEN - Piano Sonatas Nos. 30 & 31

Michel Béroff produced an impressive series of recordings over a period of more than 25 years for EMI. A quarter of a century full of musical highlights, ambitious projects and exciting artistic collaborations. This box is just as packed with music as it is with the life story of an exceptional talent. For connoisseurs, it represents the reopening of a treasure trove richly filled with reference recordings& for less experienced listeners, it offers a fantastic opportunity for discovery. Although much of it is already more than four decades old, this discography has remained as “timeless” as Michel Béroff himself. 

The box is enriched by two never-before-released recordings: a master tape from 1978 uniquely documents the outstanding and astonishingly mature playing of the young Michel Béroff's Beethoven& together with Bach’s Overture in the French style (from 1969), it adds another colour to the dazzling mosaic, another perspective on a still radiant career that was marked by great artistic successes not only in the concert hall but also in the recording studio.
