Nelson Freire: Memories

On November 21st 2021, Nelson Freire was taken before his time. One year on, we remember him with a new collection of previously unreleased Decca recordings, bonus tracks making their debut on disc and rare radio broadcast tapes; some of Nelson's finest performances from a time he rarely recorded commercially. The collection is accompanied by a new essay by Dominic Fyfe, Nelson's long-time Decca producer.
