Perfect Pianists at the BBC
David Owen Norris trawls through 60 years of BBC archive material to showcase some of the greatest names in the history of the piano. From the groundbreaking studio recitals of Benno Moiseiwitsch, Solomon and Myra Hess in the 1950s, through the legendary concerts of Vladimir Horowitz and Arthur Rubinstein to more recent performances including Alfred Brendel, Mitsuko Uchida and Stephen Hough, David celebrates some of the greatest players in a pianistic tradition that goes back to Franz Liszt in the 19th century
