Romanian pianist Radu Lupu commanded a legion of fans and connoisseurs all over the world. His rare appearances in the concert hall were packed with audiences which included top-drawer performers. He was the master of lyricism and could make the piano whisper like no other.

Lupu shunned media attention, his discography is not large, but every recording he made had an aura of spirituality and distinction. Decca is proud to present a unique set of recordings – material that has never before been officially published – ranging from ‘lost tapes’ in the Decca archives to recordings sourced from radio stations around the world.

Sanctioned by his estate, and presented in a 6-CD capbox, with bespoke jackets for each disc and digital album, Radu Lupu: The Unreleased Recordings is made up entirely of material not otherwise recorded by Lupu and is released to mark what would have been the pianist’s 80th birthday this November.
