	Claudio Arrau Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		In 1912 Arrau was sent to study with Martin Krause at the Stern Konservatorie in Berlin at the expense of the Chilean government.
		Arrau considered it the duty of every great artist to become not only proficient in his or her field of expertise, but also to know as much as possible about all art--painting, sculpture, literature, and theater.
		Arrau adhered to Carl Jung's notion of the "collective unconscious" in which the psychologist posits that the same universal aspects of human experience lie dormant in all people, clothed in symbolism, waiting to be exposed, felt, and lived.

		Arrau said the greatest musical experiences of his life were the concerts he heard with Busoni, and the ones he played himself under Furtwängler’s baton in the 1930s.

		Arrau's Waldstein is notable for its unusually slow first movement that yet remains fascinating all the way through.
		Arrau gives a highly personal performance of the theme and variations of op.109, which I found mannered at first, but the more I listened the more I understood its divinity.
		Arrau misses most of Beethoven's humor, and his playing is a little slow and careful at times.

		Arrau is so underrated as to almost pass unnoticed when the truly great exponents of Chopin are spoken of, yet I believe he belongs in the company of Horowitz, Rubinstein, Agerich, Pollini and Zimermann.
		Arrau recorded most of his Chopin in the '70's, and his Ballades and Preludes are staggeringly good (I have yet to hear a better version than his of the fourth ballade).
		Arrau's playing of the Chopin nocturnes emphasizes the extent to which these wonderfully well-crafted works belong to the realm of the night in all its Romantic mystery and, especially, longing (what an odd-seeming word for the 21st century!).

		While it is a pleasure to have another Arrau performance of Beethoven´s 5th piano concerto, the presentation is disappointing.
		Arrau´s depth and superb technique were peculiarly suited to Beethoven´s work, and Arrau had no equal in the second half of the 20th century when it came to playing Beethoven´s greatest works for piano (please, don´t tell me about Brendel´s brilliant but cold ruminations -- this music requires spiritual as well as intellectual depth).
		In this recorded performance, Arrau, who never played without intense concentration and commitment, transmits the added inspiration of playing before his fellow countrymen for the first time after a decades-long absence from his native Chile.

		Arrau recorded the same work in the studio a year beforehand (available as part of the Philips 50 series), and whilst it is indeed a great note perfect performance, I find it is somewhat tame and a tad sterile.
		Arrau has now honed this beast of a composition to perfection and starts to take risks in his performance.
		Arrau, pianistically speaking, was never a heavy-handed power player, but on certain passages in this sonata, he explodes with such ferocity, the microphones pick up his breathing exertions.

		Arrau had a great technique too, but his main interest was the music, not his fingers.
		Arrau could throw in plenty of bad notes in his day, but they were simply tiny blemishes on a work of art.

		Born in a small Chilean village 54 years ago, Arrau was able to sit down and play a movement from a Beethoven sonata at sight at the age of four.
		As Chile's most celebrated international citizen abroad, Arrau is given the privilege of travelling on a diplomatic passport, which considerably facilitates his many comings and goings all over the world.

		One of Klemperer’s assets is his long classical line, which adds a breadth and grandeur to the Chopin orchestral introduction and interludes, often totally absorbed and neutralized by the keyboard part.
		Arrau plays with the same rounded and full attention to chord sonority and bell-like tones that characterized his playing for over half a century.
		In the F Minor Concerto, given as part of the Human Rights Day Concert for the United Nations, Arrau is quite capable of sudden thrusts of forward motion, to which Fritz Busch keeps his orchestra affixed like a velvet glove.

		Arrau is one of the more tepid interpreters of the twentieth century, right up there with Bolet, who is just bad all around.
		The combination of Arrau's characterizations of the music and the distant sound (due to the early technology involved) create an enchanting, mesmerizing experience.
		Arrau is one of the very few pianists who has fantastic touch and crystalbright, brilliantly beatiful sound, whatever he plays.

		I give this record 5 out of 5 stars because, the recordings by Arrau are "gold", his use of Tempo Rubato is so finely tuned that age is the only way that level of mastery can be attained.
		Arrau's recordings are very inspiring esspecially the Paysage, Wilde Jagd, Harmonies du Soir, and Chasse-Neige.
