1997 release. "The singleness of his passion for the art we both loved was almost frightening, even to a composer like myself" --Aaron Copland. Previously unpublished live recordings of pianist William Kapell, including his first documented playing, of Beethoven at age 15. New light on a legacy that ended when he perished in a plane crash in 1953 after the 31-year-old had finished an Australian tour. Notes include interview excerpts with his wife and letters about his artistic aims. Also includes performances of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. These recordings of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37, feature Leon Barzin and the National Orchestral Association; these recordings of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37, feature Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
