Lazar Berman, a bear of a man whom The Times of London called 'one of the last unabashed exponents of the Romantic tradition of Russian pianism', was known for the power of his playing and for his prodigious technique, but was also capable of great delicacy at the keyboard. The core of his repertoire was the great Romantic and post-Romantic works, from Beethoven to Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Emil Gilels referred to him as a `phenomenon of the musical world`. Eloquence presents his complete Deutsche Grammophon recordings over five titles.
