這套雙CD收錄了肯普夫1954年八月七號在法國Menton留下的珍貴錄音,當天大師演奏了貝多芬與舒伯特的最後鋼琴奏鳴曲,以及舒曼的克萊斯勒魂.這是大師非常精彩的傳奇音樂會實況.此外還加收了1962年同樣在法國留下的實況錄音,大師演奏了舒曼的大衛同盟以及莫札特K331鋼琴奏鳴曲.
片尾更珍貴收錄大師演奏他所改編的巴哈作品,並附上大師的訪問錄音.非常值得收藏.
 
Wilhelm Kempff made his first appearance in France in September 1916, not as a performer for a French audience, but rather as a pianist entertaining German soldiers stationed at the western frontline. He held concerts in various venues, including theaters, churches, and cathedrals, alongside violinist Georg Kulenkampff. Kempff’s public debut in France occurred relatively late in his career, in 1938 when he was 42 years old. He was immediately highly regarded by French critics, who saw him as the epitome of a German pianist, exhibiting mastery over the works of composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms. He regularly performed in France almost every year until 1981, enchanting audiences and filling concert halls. Kempff was a frequent guest at major French music festivals held in Aix-en-Provence, Besançon, Menton, Prades, Saint-Malo, and Strasbourg. Our double album features two recitals from these esteemed festivals. On 18 March 1981, he bid farewell to his French audience, presenting his final concert in the country at the prestigious Salle Pleyel in Paris.
