GIDON KREMER: THE WARNER COLLECTION (21 CDS) WARNER CLASSICS

Gidon Kremer avoids the well-trodden paths of the musical world as he explores it with style and sensitivity. Harnoncourt’s fellow researcher, Argerich’s soulmate, an early champion of Schnittke and Pärt – Kremer combines a passion for freedom with a quest for authenticity, as is revealed in the recordings he made over a period of two decades for EMI, Teldec and Erato.
