Pietro Scarpini plays Beethoven.

The Italian master pianist Pietro Scarpini played Bach's "Die Kunst der Fuge" from memory and was an early pioneer of Schonberg, Berg, Busoni, Dallapiccola and Hindemith. Until now his art remained almost inaccessible. Rhine Classics' complete collection will include 33 discs to comprehensively represent all the significant recordings left by Scarpini, many recorded privately.
