For the last time, we dive deep into the 19th century as part of our benchmark collection of Welte recordings. Born in 1866, pianist and composer Ferruccio Busoni was recommended by Johannes Brahms as a student and was acquainted with countless musicians from Grieg to Tchaikovsky. Today he is best known for his arrangements or interpretations of Bach, Chopin and Liszt. All of Busoni's Welte recordings can be found on this double album. This concludes the TACET series "The Welte Mignon Mystery."
