A monumental 16-disc EMI survey spanning 62 composers from Debussy to Thomas Adès, featuring an almost unrivalled roster of legendary artists — Karajan, Klemperer, Jacqueline du Pré, Rostropovich, Argerich, Christa Ludwig, and Gidon Kremer among many others. A comprehensive portrait of 20th-century classical music drawn entirely from premium EMI archive recordings, this is an ideal collector's survey of the repertoire.
