With EMI Classics "Great Recordings of the Century" series you get not only Michelangeli's performance of Rach 4, which Penguin CD guide calls "one of the most brilliant piano records ever made", but you also get the Ravel Piano Concerto in G. This piece has an Adagio assai that is "one of the most touching melodies to come from the human heart." Marguerite Long. In this movement Michelangeli "achieves a sonority and expressive range that is simply without equal." Classical Music on CD: The Rough Guide. Michelangeli's atmospheric and technically brilliant performance of one of the most hauntingly beautiful adagios makes this a no brainer.
