Complete Decca Recordings - CD

The distinguished French pianist Pascal Roge turned 75 on April 6, 2026. An exclusive Decca recording artist in the 1970s and '80s, his recording career started early. He played the solo piano part in a vaunted recording of Giordano's opera Fedora, recorded in Monte Carlo, and produced a tremendous Liszt album as an 18-year-old. He then went on to document extensively the music of Ravel, Debussy, Satie and Poulenc. Concertos, chamber music, solo piano music and song, Mozart, Beethoven, Saint-Saëns and Fauré all make their way into a comprehensive 43-CD box set with original jackets. Many of these recordings have been unavailable, physically, for several years. But collectors will be additionally pleased to discover two unpublished works - Brahms's Second Sonata, left unpublished for want of a suitable coupling, and a selection of preludes by the Japanese composer Takashi Yoshimatsu. Also published for the first time on Decca is a recording of Mozart concertos with Raymond Leppard.
