The Complete VOX BOX Recordings!
Michael Ponti is regarded as one of the great pianists of the late 20th century. For five decades. He recorded solo and concerto repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary eras, including dozens of debut recordings of romantic repertoire. Ponti’s survey of Rachmaninoff’s complete solo and two-piano music for Vox was a landmark undertaking, introducing the composer’s rarest works to an international audience.
