BEETHOVEN / SZELL / FLEISHER - Five Piano Concertos (VINYL 4LPs, 1971) **NEW**
Review from another site: In an interview, Leon Fleisher said that he had been in awe of George Szell from an early age-thanks to a recording of the Brahms D-minor concerto that his parents had given him featuring his future piano teacher (Artur Schnabel!) and Szell conducting. Many years later Fleisher himself would make a series of records with Szell and the Cleveland orchestra in music ranging from Mozart and Beethoven to Grieg and Rachmaninoff. Along with their sublime set of the two Brahms concerti (also now available) this set remains a classic in the annals of recording for their forward impetus, sweep, power and poetry. Szell never just supports his soloist, but offers instead an ongoing dialogue between pianist and orchestra. Fleisher plays with all the fire and poetry that hallmarked his famous teacher, and with technical aplomb. The orchestra was at the top of their form-in a word, magnificent! The piano sound is a little hard in places, but the balance is fine. This set is a must for every Beethoven lover, it will never be bettered. -- T.S.S.
