CLAUDIO ARRAU war einer der bedeutenden Pianisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der chilenische Wunderknabe hatte sich in sehr kurzer Zeit ein riesiges Repertoire angeeignet, das er ausnahmslos auswendig wiedergeben konnte. In der neuen Serie Decca 3 werden drei seiner schönsten Einspielungen zum Sonderpreis veröffentlicht.
