Claudio Arrau and the DR Symphony Orchestra

In November 1967, the world-famous Chilean pianist Claudio Arrau was on tour in Denmark, and the DR Symphony Orchestra managed to persuade him to go to the studio on a Saturday afternoon and record two piano concerts by Chopin and Liszt. The recordings have never been released, and they have not been heard on the radio for more than half a century. Listen as the Gold Concert presents a world premiere of the forgotten Danish Claudio Arrau recordings.
