Seven classic Mercury Living Presence albums, newly remastered and compiled for the first time to celebrate the legacy of Greek pianist Gina Bachauer, who thrilled audiences and challenged stereotypes wherever she went. LIMITED EDITION.

MORE INFORMATION

This complete survey of Gina Bachauer’s Mercury recordings is presented as an ‘original covers’ collection with a new booklet essay by the piano scholar Mark Ainley, with remastering by Thomas Fine.

Born in Athens in 1913, Gina Bachauer studied Bach with a pupil of Busoni; Brahms with Rachmaninov; and Ravel with Cortot. Can any other pianist, alive or dead, lay claim to so rich a treasury of study and instruction? That all three luminaries of the piano regarded her worth teaching tells its own story.
