Claudio Arrau is among the most durable and versatile pianists of the twentieth century.
His career extends more than eighty years, and in that time he has distinguished himself in a phenomenal range of music&#x;from Baroque master J. S. Bach to Romantics such as Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt, and from the towering genius Ludwig van Beethoven to key Impressionist Claude Debussy.
Throughout much of his career Arrau has also performed at a pace that might prove exhausting to less disciplined musicians: in his most hectic period, stretching from the s into the s, he annually gave more than one hundred performances and still managed to produce a vast catalog of recorded works.
