There's obvious integrity and forethought informing Arrau's studied deliberation in the F minor Fantasy, yet his Philips remake dating from the late-1970s is leaner, more urgent in tone, and technically secure. Arrau digs beneath the surface glitter in Weber's rarely heard Konzertstücke and takes the composer's careful legato/marcato demarcations more seriously than most, truly catching fire in the Allegro passionato, abetted by the Philharmonia Orchestra's crisp playing under Alceo Galliera's sympathetic, alert leadership. I believe this performance is new to CD, and I hope its onetime LP discmate, the Tchaikovsky B-flat minor, will soon gain reissue (the time is ripe for a complete, systematic boxed set reissue devoted to Arrau's complete EMI output!). Perhaps the elfin spirit of Mendelssohn's Andante & Rondo Capriccioso is a little too mature and worldly for its own good, but what pianist wouldn't trade his eyeteeth for Arrau's awesome double-note mastery? Warmly recommended to Arrau fans.
