This double DVD set includes a recital featuring Haydn's Piano Sonata in E flat major, Mozart's Piano Sonata in C minor, and Schubert's Impromptu No. 3 in G flat, D 899. The second DVD is a documentary film that looks back on his childhood and early influences. Alfred Brendel reveals his stature as an international performer, displays his admiration for the work of other artists and gives rare insights into his ideas and philosophy. Alfred Brendel also reads his own witty and self revelatory poetry. There is an inspiring conversation at the piano, in which the great conductor Simon Rattle and Alfred Brendel discuss and rehearse the fine details of Beethoven's Piano Concertos Nos 2 & 3. This is a wonderfully detailed picture of Alfred Brendel not just as a great pianist, but also as a human being.
