{"product_id":"complete-recordings-190295261863","title":"Complete Recordings","description":"Limited box containing 54 CDs plus DVD. Samson François was a true poet of the piano. A brilliant, inspired pianist especially identified with the music of Chopin, Debussy and Ravel, he played with both the proverbial clarity of the French school and a visceral immediacy and spontaneity. Charismatic, sometimes provocative, and numbering jazz among his passions, he achieved celebrity status - notably in France and Japan. The works of Chopin are prominent in this collection - melodic contours were always a priority for François - but the complete list of composers is richly diverse. Three major new bonuses are the long-awaited world premiere release of François' penultimate live recital, recorded at the Nohant Festival in France in June 1970, just four months before his death at the age of 46; a recital recorded in Tokyo in 1969, and a DVD documentary, written by his son, Maximilien François. This new edition places all recordings in the context of their original couplings and the CD wallets carry the original artwork.","brand":"Erato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46182670991443,"sku":"2331185X","price":83.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3858867_1662999c-c1a4-42cb-9725-de83e74a5608.jpg?v=1788834739","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/complete-recordings-190295261863","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
