''Great Pianists of the 20th Century '' was a 200-CD box set released by Philips Records in 1999 and sponsored by Steinway & Sons. The box set comprised 100 volumes featuring 72〔Guttman 1999, 2005.〕 pianists of the 20th century, each volume with two CDs and a booklet about the life and work of the featured pianist. The set contains a variety of composers from different eras, from Baroque to Contemporary classical. The material was the result of a collaborative association between Philips (who had access to the Polygram Records back catalogue) and a number of other labels, notably EMI Classics, as no single label possessed a representative set of recordings for every pianist considered to be significant. Material from Warner Classics and Sony Classics was also used. The majority of the pianists feature on one set only, with sixteen appearing on a second set. Seven artists (Arrau, Brendel, Gilels, Horowitz, Kempff, Richter and Rubinstein) are featured across three sets. Perceptive pianophiles have pointed out various errors in the set, including misattributed recordings and use of unauthorized takes. For example, the Paderewski volume contains a performance of Liszt’s "La Leggierezza" which was actually recorded by Benno Moiseiwitsch – also included in the latter’s volume. Further, the liner notes claim the cadenza of the piece was by Moiseiwitsch, while it was actually by Theodor Leschetizky.〔Manildi & Malik 2012. (See entry for Paderewski ).〕 The first of two Cortot volumes was withdrawn when it was discovered that a previously rejected performance of Schumann’s ''Kreisleriana'' was issued by mistake. The volume was reissued with the correct take.〔Manildi & Malik 2012. (See entry for Cortot ).〕 The series has also been criticized for the lack of remastering of historic recordings, notably in the Hofmann reissue which degraded the transfers originally issued by Ward Marston.〔Manildi & Malik 2012. (See entry for Hofmann ).〕 The German edition of the set (and possibly others) includes a bonus CD with Clara Haskil (''Sonderausgabe zur Edition'') —raising to 5 the total number of CDs with her. This bonus CD contains her interpretation of some of Scarlatti's piano sonatas from her 1947 Westminster LP, and is the first printing on CD of these recordings, according to the CD cover (''Erstveröffentlichung auf CD'').〔Clara Haskil bonus CD. .〕 == List of volumes == Each volume contains 2 CDs.〔Detailed track listings for (Box 1 ) and (Box 2 ) are available at allmusic.com.
