Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli seems to have discovered the consistent, musical touch & weight for every note in the last Beethoven piano concerto & sonata, in this basic classical field. Applied in the French impressionist pieces, the result is the strongest, most colourful, most musical & most poetic Debussy you ever heard from a pianist!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Praga's 2nd SACD remastering featuring the great pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli focuses on the music of Beethoven. A monumental performance of the Piano Sonata #31 is followed by a similarly epic reading of the Piano Concerto #5, accompanied by the Prague Symphony Orchestra led by Vaclav Smetacek. The disc includes a welcome bonus - encore performances of the 4 Images for solo piano by Claude Debussy. 

Amazon review by ConTroppo:
A sensational new release. Best sound quality recording of Beethoven's 32nd I've heard from Michelangeli, not to mention it's from 1957 so it has more fire than the later recordings I've heard.
