Arrau's admirable intellect and imagination was accompanied by humility and absolute integrity as shown in these interviews. He of course possessed a virtuoso technique, but it was never intrusive and always served the music .

[@neilhilgrovecolledge2232]

The last word on The Waldstein sonata opus 53 always belonged to this Maestro in my opinion. My father and myself heard him play The Emperor Concerto under Colin Davis at The Barbican … He was 85 years old. I will never forget that marvellous evening.

"You have gone to every possible limit of imagination in the conquering of the piano literature."

When was this recorded? (Array is a pleasure to listen to, don't you think?)

[@noochinator]

These shows were first broadcast around 1980, I believe.....

The one thing to avoid: vanity!

Why does it stop at 32:01 and not go on from there, no matter what I try?
