Michel Béroff produced for EMI an impressive series of recordings over a period of more than 25 years. A quarter century full of musical highlights, ambitious projects and exciting artistic collaborations. This box is as full of music as it is with the life story of an exceptional talent. For connoisseurs it is the reopening of a treasure chest richly filled with reference recordings; for less experienced listeners it offers a fantastic opportunity to discover. Although much of it is more than four decades old, this discography has remained just as "timeless" as Michel Béroff himself.
The box is enriched with two never before released recordings: a master tape from 1978 uniquely documents the outstanding and remarkably mature playing of young Michel Béroff's Beethoven; together with Bach's Ouverture in French Style (from 1969) it adds even more color to the splendid mosaic, a new 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.
