Reviews

  • Greatest performance ever of the Emperor Concerto

    George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra were long known for becoming one of the greatest orchestras of the 20th century, and for developing a musical precision not usually seen outside of the elite orchestras of the world. Leon Fleisher was known for being the main successor to Schnabel's style of Piano playing, which works perfectly in combination with the Cleveland orchestra. I would also recommend EMI's 'Great Recordings of the Century' series and the DG originals series if you want to comapre this legendary recording with other noteable recordings. Asheknazy with George Solti might also be abother version worth looking into, but Fleisher is the best of the bunch and this CD can be had for budget pricing if you look around. Superb Precision from the Cleveland combined with the Piano skills of Leon Fleisher show why this legendary performance still gets rave reviews decades later. The triple concerto was done with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Ormandy was known for moderate tempos and sometimes a lack of emotion, but its still a solid performance. Stern, Istomin and Rose are the soloists on the Triple concerto, but they are up to the task and deliver an acceptable performance.
